Deploy and manage express.js applications on serverless Knative infrastructure easily, cheaply and scale massively.

Click the link above to see the Serverless Framework's easy experience with Knative and Red Hat's OpenShift.

## Prerequisites

### Kubernetes

[Knative](https://knative.dev) should be installed on your Kubernetes cluster.

Furthermore you need to create a ServiceAccount with the following permissions:

- Create / Remove Namespaces
- Create / Remove ConfigMaps
- Create / Remove Pods
- Create / Remove PersistentVolumeClaims
- Create / Remove Knative Serving Services

The ServiceAccount token will be used to manage the deployments and removals of Knative Services.

### Docker Hub account

Currently we're only supporting [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) as a container registry so you need a [docker.com](https://docker.com) account.

Support for more container registries is on our Roadmap.

## Quickstart

1. Install the latest [Serverless Framework](https://github.com/serverless/serverless) via `npm install --global serverless`
1. Copy the code in the [`example`](./example) directory
1. Run `npm install` to install all the dependencies
1. Update the `org`, `app`, and `name` properties in the `serverless.yml` file
1. Update the `.env` file with your Kubernetes and Docker secrets
1. Run `serverless deploy`
1. Visit the service URL to see your Express.js app running on your Kubernetes cluster via Knative
1. Make some changes to your Express.js app and run `serverless deploy` again
1. Run `serverless remove` to remove everything from your cluster
