title: The power of serverless with Knative, Crossplane, Dapr, Keda, Shipwright and friends

## Goal

* Take my sourcecode and run it, scale it - jsut don't ask me

## Baseline

* Use Kubernetes for platform
* Use kNative for autoscaling
* Use Kaniko/Shipwright for building
* Use Dupr for inter-service Communication

## Openfunction

> The glue between different tools to achive serverless

* CRD that describes:
  * Build this image and push it to the registry
  * Use this builder to build my project
  * This in my Repo
  * My App listens on this port
  * Annotations

## Dependencies

* Open Questions
  * Where are the serverless servers -> Cluster, dependencies, secrets
  * How do I create DBs, etc
* Resulting needs
  * Cluster aaS (using crossplane - in this case using aws)
  * DBaaS (using crossplane - again usig pq on aws)
  * App aaS
