Knative extends Kubernetes to provide a set of middleware components that are useful to build modern, source-centric, container-based applications. Knative brings some significant benefits out of the box through its main components:

and [TriggerMesh CLI](https://github.com/triggermesh/tm) CLIs to simplify the
deployment of services and functions to Knative.
1.**`serverless.yml`** (for [functions only](#deploying-functions)): When using serverless to deploy functions, the `serverless.yml` file
will contain the information for all the functions being hosted in the repository as well as a reference to the
runtime being used.
1.**`Dockerfile`** (for [applications only](#deploying-serverless-applications): Knative requires a `Dockerfile` in order to build your application. It should be included
at the root of your project's repo and expose port `8080`.
1.**`Dockerfile`** (for [applications only](#deploying-serverless-applications): Knative requires a
`Dockerfile` in order to build your applications. It should be included at the root of your
project's repo and expose port `8080`. `Dockerfile` is not require if you plan to build serverless functions
using our [runtimes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/serverless/runtimes).
1.**Prometheus** (optional): Installing Prometheus allows you to monitor the scale and traffic of your serverless function/application.
