The wg-serverless working group explores the intersection of cloud-native and serverless computing. It focuses on fostering collaboration and defining standards for serverless technologies within the CNCF. The group facilitates the development and promotion of related projects, such as CloudEvents and Serverless Workflow, to advance the serverless ecosystem. It serves as a central hub for information and coordination across various serverless initiatives.
This working group acts as a focal point for the CNCF serverless community, supporting multiple independent projects. It provides a space for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and coordinating efforts in the serverless space. The group's activities are documented through publicly available whitepapers, meeting minutes, and presentations, ensuring transparency and accessibility.
- Community Coordination: Facilitates communication and collaboration among serverless projects and contributors within the CNCF.
- Resource Sharing: Provides access to whitepapers, landscape diagrams, and meeting recordings to educate and inform the community.
- Sub-project Support: Oversees and supports independent sub-projects like CloudEvents and Serverless Workflow, promoting their growth and adoption.
- Knowledge Dissemination: Shares insights and best practices through presentations and meeting minutes
- Landscape Visualization: Maintains and promotes an interactive landscape to visualize the serverless ecosystem.
- Standardization Efforts: Explores and promotes standardization of serverless concepts and technologies.
The wg-serverless has been active since 2017 and maintains regular communications through mailing lists and Slack. While not a rapidly evolving project, the group fosters ongoing development within its sub-projects. Regular meetings and readily accessible documentation suggest a stable and active community.
The wg-serverless benefits developers, architects, and organizations seeking to understand and adopt serverless technologies. It addresses the challenge of navigating the complex serverless landscape by providing resources, coordinating efforts, and fostering collaboration. This helps users make informed decisions about adopting and implementing serverless solutions and promotes interoperability within the serverless ecosystem.
