Serverless

S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. This makes it suitable for storing and retrieving any amount of data from anywhere on the web. Object storage is a new kind of data storage architecture that offers unlimited scalability at a significantly lower cost than traditional storage systems. In object storage, data is stored as objects in a flat address space, rather than as files in a hierarchy of directories. This makes it easier to scale storage to exabytes and beyond, and to store and retrieve large objects efficiently. S3 is designed to provide 99.99% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year, making it suitable for storing critical data. It also offers a range of security features, including encryption and access control, to help protect stored data.

Knative Functions, also known as Knative Serving, is a component of the Knative open-source platform that enables you to build, deploy, and manage serverless applications on Kubernetes. It allows you to run code in response to specific events, such as HTTP requests or changes to a database, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. Knative Functions is designed to be scalable, performant, and easy to use, and it can be integrated with other Knative components, such as Knative Eventing and Knative Build, to create a complete serverless platform.
