Knative flow in six steps: a request reaches the activator because the service is at zero; the activator reports demand to the autoscaler; the autoscaler scales the deployment up; the activator forwards the request when the pod is ready; a Kafka message becomes a CloudEvent in the broker and a trigger delivers it to the service; if delivery keeps failing the event goes to the dead letter sink.
