Deep Dive: CNCF Serverless WG / CloudEventsClemens Vasters, Microsoft & Cathy Zhang
summary
CloudEvents defines a minimal event schema — type, time, source, id plus content type and optional schemaURL — with JSON as the canonical wire format and transport bindings for HTTP structured and binary, AMQP, Kafka, MQTT and NATS; a protobuf binding is in PR. The Serverless workflow model is a state machine with six states (event, operation, switch, delay, parallel, end), directives for sequencing, retries and data passing, and a stock-trade example; rollback uses compensating functions (sagas), not built-in ACID transactions.
