Background

1. Knative Eventing provides tools for routing events from event producers to sinks, enabling developers to use an event-driven architecture with their applications.
2. Apache EventMesh supports the CloudEvents specification, thus it could be integrated with Knative as an event broker.

Task

• Learn the details of the CloudEvents specification
• Learn the basics of Knative Eventing and its communication protocol
• Implement the EventMesh Knative-Connector module to deliver events to Knative
