In this chapter, we introduced link checking to Delinkcious and we did it in style! We discussed the serverless scene, including its two common meanings; that is, not dealing with instances, nodes, or servers, and cloud functions as a service. We then implemented a loosely coupled solution within Delinkcious for link checking, which took advantage of our NATS messaging system to distribute events when links are checked. Then, we covered Nuclio in some detail and used it to close the loop and let the LinkManager initiate link checks on a serverless function and get notified later to update the link status.

Finally, we surveyed many other solutions and frameworks for serverless functions on Kubernetes. At this point, you should have ...
