How do I start? Which platform supports my language of choice? How do I manage the application state? How do I integrate with existing «legacy» systems? In this presentation, Viktor Gamov will walk you through the setup and deploy a serverless application that includes event functions, services, and data streaming. For event functions and services we will use the open-source Knative project on Kubernetes. For data streaming, we will use Apache Kafka.
