summary
Argues that developer-friendly FaaS comes from auto-generating the container shape rather than exposing Dockerfiles, and shows a working demo using buildpacks and k-native where kn-funk runs kn-funk create/build/deploy/run to wrap an AWS-style Python lambda (lambda_handler) with Express and CloudEvents, builds and pushes an OCI image, and exposes a ready URL. Recommends tools jib/ko/pack, cites ~50–60% fit for defaults, and demos caching, minimal images and reproducible layers.
