Rio is a wrapper around Knative and Istio, from what I can tell. The thing I don't see (and I haven't tried Rio, so maybe someone who is using it can say this better) how does it build your apps? Because it wraps Knative, I can assume it uses Knative's build.
I don't know if that means I'm responsible for writing Dockerfiles, or if I can change out for things like Buildpacks.io buildpacks v3? But I do think that means the system can scale to zero replicas when the traffic diminishes to the point where we haven't seen any requests for something like 10 minutes, and it's fully in doubt whether or when I'll see another request I need to serve.
I have been wondering about Rio but so far not enough to break down and try it.
