### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/knative/guide/workflow/) # Knative Workflow Tips Quick recommendations and tips for various processes. ### Development Workflow 1. Write your functions 1. Use `serverless deploy` when you've made changes to `serverless.yml` and in CI/CD systems. 1. Use `serverless invoke -f myFunction` to test your functions on Knative. 1. Write tests to run locally. ### Using stages - At the very least, use a `dev` and `prod` stage. - In larger teams, each member should use a separate Knative installation and their own stage for development. ### Larger Projects - Break your application / project into multiple Serverless services. - Model your Serverless services around data models or workflows. - Keep the functions in your Serverless services to a minimum. ## Cheat Sheet A handy list of commands to use when developing with the Serverless Framework. ##### Create a service: Creates a new service ``` serverless create -p [SERVICE NAME] -t knative-docker ``` ##### Install a service This is a convenience method to install a pre-made Serverless service locally by downloading the GitHub repo and unzipping it. ``` serverless install -u [GITHUB URL OF SERVICE] ``` ##### Deploy all Use this when you have made changes to your functions or events in `serverless.yml` or you simply want to deploy all changes within your service at the same time. ``` serverless deploy -s [STAGE NAME] ``` ##### Invoke function Invokes a [Knative Serving](https://knative.dev/docs/serving) service returns it's output. ``` serverless invoke -f [FUNCTION NAME] -s [STAGE NAME] -l ``` ##### Info See information about your deployed / undeployed functions by running the info command in your service directory. ``` serverless info ```
