Learn how to join the community of Knative contributors.

Audience

Knative is designed for different personas:

Developers

Knative components offer developers Kubernetes-native APIs for deploying serverless-style functions, applications, and containers to an auto-scaling runtime.

To join the conversation, head over to the Knative users Google group.

Operators

Knative components are intended to be integrated into more polished products that cloud service providers or in-house teams in large enterprises can then operate.

Any enterprise or cloud provider can adopt Knative components into their own systems and pass the benefits along to their customers.

Contributors

With a clear project scope, lightweight governance model, and clean lines of separation between pluggable components, the Knative project establishes an efficient contributor workflow.

Knative is a diverse, open, and inclusive community. Your own path to becoming a Knative contributor can begin in any of the following components:

• serving
• eventing
• client
• documentation

Bug reports and friction logs from new developers are especially welcome.
