Message In, Job Out - Build Event-Driven Workflows in Kubernetes Using NATS, CloudEvents, and Sveltos

Learn to build flexible event-driven workflows in Kubernetes through this conference talk that demonstrates using Sveltos, NATS, and CloudEvents to create reactive applications. Discover how to move beyond rigid execution graphs by implementing declarative triggers that respond to real-world events like user actions, system signals, and business milestones. Explore Sveltos as an open source tool for declarative multi-cluster orchestration and understand how NATS provides lightweight messaging designed for speed and simplicity. Master the CloudEvents standard for building event-driven behavior and see how each workflow step runs in standard Kubernetes Jobs, making applications easier to build, test, and extend with familiar tooling. Gain practical insights into reactive system design using open source tools and develop a new perspective on orchestration that is declarative, flexible, and developer-friendly, moving away from fixed structures toward workflows that can grow and evolve step by step.
