CNCF Serverless WG: Where Do We Go From Here?
summary
CNCF Serverless WG delivers a white paper and a landscape spreadsheet and has spun CloudEvents 0.3 → 1.0 to standardize minimal event metadata so middleware can route without understanding payloads; SDKs exist and formats include JSON and protobuf with HTTP bindings and Kafka transport next. The next workstream is a workflow spec 0.1 that models executions as state machines (states, triggers, actions) to wire functions together without defining function signatures. Ongoing concerns: portability, scale-to-zero support, tooling for logging/observability.
