The Serverless workflow specification relies on CloudEvents for event publishing and consumption. CloudEvents are designed in a way that might work with any event format. That goal is achieved by declaring the data property, the one containing the event information, as an array of bytes. Kogito Serveless workflow expects that incoming and outgoing events representRead more →
I have recently been wondering: how many times do we find ourselves accessing a specific resource inside a Kubernetes cluster searching for information about how to access it or to expose our awesome service so others can consume it.
