Knative Educational Game

An educational game to teach Knative Eventing concepts through interactive gameplay, primarily focused around Event Driven Architectures.

Overview

This game teaches fundamental Event Driven Architecture (EDA) patterns through hands-on puzzles where players route events from sources through brokers to sinks. Players learn concepts like:

• Basic Event Flow - Events travel from sources to brokers and are delivered to sinks

• Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) - Failed events are moved to a DLQ for alternative processing
