I work for Red Hat, which is touting Knative as "serverless" pretty hard.
My take: OpenWhisk is so much easier to use. I can write a small function, run one command and BOOM I have a function. I wrote a really involved tutorial and blog series about Knative, but after I was finished I learned that we are going with Knative. I know this isn't helpful, but hopefully you'll find it informational. I seem to have a knack for choosing technologies that die (I gave up my Windows Phone just last Fall). -- Don On Wed, Mar 13, 2019 at 5:33 PM Lars Andersson < [email protected]> wrote: > Relevant question indeed!
