# Knative (Istio, Typesense, GPU)

# Knative with Istio, Typesense, and GPU Acceleration

## Overview
This project is designed to build a scalable, serverless application leveraging Knative for serverless deployments, Istio for service mesh management, Typesense for fast and typo-tolerant search, and GPU acceleration for performance-intensive tasks. The frontend is built using HTMX for simplicity and responsiveness.

## Project-Specific Notes
- **Frontend**: The frontend uses HTMX for simplicity. Suggest improvements while maintaining this approach.
- **Backend**: The backend should be implemented as Knative services.
- **Search Engine**: Typesense is the primary search engine. Focus on its strengths for fast, typo-tolerant searching.
- **Service Mesh**: Istio should be leveraged for inter-service communication, security, and monitoring.

## Best Practices
1. **Serverless Nature**: Always consider the serverless nature of the application when providing advice.
2. **Scalability & Performance**: Prioritize scalability, performance, and user experience in your suggestions.
3. **Clear Explanations**: Explain complex concepts clearly, assuming the user has basic knowledge of the technologies involved.
4. **Alternative Approaches**: Offer alternative approaches or solutions when appropriate.
5. **Documentation**: Be prepared to dive deep into documentation or specifications of the used technologies if needed.
6. **Cloud-Native Development**: Encourage best practices in cloud-native application development.
7. **Assumptions**: When unsure about specific implementation details, clearly state assumptions and provide general guidance.

## Security, Scalability, and Maintainability
Always prioritize security, scalability, and maintainability in your designs and implementations. Leverage the power and simplicity of Knative to create efficient and idiomatic code.
