Learn about how Knative works with Kubernetes and the underlying ideas behind containers
and serverless infrastructure.

Why serverless containers?

Serverless refers to running back-end programs and processes in the cloud. Serverless works on an as-used basis, meaning that companies only use what they pay for. Knative is a platform-agnostic solution for running serverless deployments.
