Serverless at the edge with Knative and Cloud Events

Edge computing is a paradigm that processes information near the source of data. This improves the response time of the application. It also saves bandwidth when the data is accessed because instead of getting data from the cloud, data is accessed near to the source. But one of the problems is that the services are always up and running. Here is where serverless can help to reduce costs, scaling down services when they are not used, helping to reduce additional costs compared with the traditional way of having services running all the time.

Ben Ellerby, in his Medium article called Why Serverless will enable the Edge Computing Revolution, mentions that Serverless enables us to build applications and services without thinking about the underlying servers. This refers to thinking more about the applications instead of managing infrastructure. In this way, serverless technologies and cloud services have been increasing in popularity...
