Knative = Kubernetes Networking++
&gt; Knative is about to hit v1.0 and become «stable», has a solid community.<p>I&#x27;m sorry for the negativity but I&#x27;m skeptical about the reliability.<p>AFAIK it still doesn&#x27;t really address instabilities. Software crashes, hardware fails, power goes out. It is trivial to lose data, and it is trivial to be blissfully unaware that there is a possibility of data loss because when everything&#x27;s green, things work perfectly fine.<p>My anecdote is, I was at a conference, listening to the &quot;Introduction to Knative&quot; talk. Knew just the name and that serverless is a hot new thing. There was a simple app that has sourced earthquakes and displayed a map, or something like that. Things looked neat and simple, so I wanted to jump on that bandwagon, but... My first (and quite obvious) question was, &quot;what happens if during the event processing a hardware node that runs a service instance suddenly goes dark?&quot;.<p>I was surprised that there wasn&#x27;t a meaningful answer, so I&#x27;ve tried to research it myself and found that - in my understanding - the event is just lost. Unless someone had taken extra care to implement such guarantees by adding more and more statefulness. As I get it, it&#x27;s still K8s, and I can deploy my own message bus&#x2F;queue, but this devalues Knative for me.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;knative&#x2F;eventing-contrib&#x2F;issues&#x2F;656" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;knative&#x2F;eventing-contrib&#x2F;issues&#x2F;656</a> is the issue that tracks it, and it was shoved away to the eventing-contrib repo...<p>It could be that I don&#x27;t understand something, or that I&#x27;ve made the wrong conclusions.<p>---<p>Update: Found <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;knative&#x2F;eventing&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1949" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;knative&#x2F;eventing&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1949</a> - seems that they&#x27;ve merged in something just <i>yesterday</i>. Seems that things are improving. That&#x27;s good.
