Knative

Knative runs on Google Cloud as a serverless framework for building event-driven applications. It handles the heavy lifting of scaling containers up or down based on incoming traffic, allowing you to deploy microservices without managing the underlying infrastructure directly. The system manages routing and autoscaling, so your code reacts to events rather than sitting idle waiting for requests.

This setup suits teams already operating within the GCP ecosystem who need flexible, event-based compute. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier. Since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, even minimal testing or development work incurs costs, meaning you cannot experiment with the platform without immediate financial impact.
