Knative, the Kubernetes-native platform for serverless and event-driven applications, has graduated from the CNCF after seven years. The platform simplifies deployment by abstracting infrastructure complexities like autoscaling and routing, allowing developers to focus on business logic. Its core components—Serving and Eventing—enable automatic scaling to zero and unified event connections. Major adopters include Alibaba Cloud, Scaleway, and Gojek. With CNCF graduation, Knative is positioned as a vendor-neutral alternative to AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, capable of running anywhere Kubernetes operates. The managed Knative services market is projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2033.
