knative/func

Func is a client library and CLI for developing and deploying serverless functions on Knative. It provides both programmatic and command-line interfaces to streamline the function development workflow, from creation through deployment.

The tool addresses the complexity of building and running functions in a Knative environment by offering a unified interface that handles the scaffolding, configuration, and deployment lifecycle. Developers use the CLI to create new functions, manage their code and dependencies, and deploy them to Knative clusters. The project is structured around a client library that powers both the CLI and can be used directly by other tools, enabling integration into broader development workflows.

Func suits teams already committed to Knative who want to reduce boilerplate and manual configuration steps when working with functions. It is particularly valuable for organizations building function-based applications where developers need a consistent way to move from local development to production deployment. The tool is designed for developers who prefer command-line tooling and want the abstractions that a dedicated client provides over working directly with Knative's underlying APIs.

The project maintains an active roadmap tracked through GitHub issues and projects. The working group convenes regularly to discuss direction and priorities. The team actively solicits contributions from the broader function developer community and maintains documentation covering architecture, command reference, and usage examples.
