Sequence wired to another Sequence

We are going to create the following logical configuration. We create a PingSource, feeding events to a Sequence, then taking the output of that Sequence and sending it to a second Sequence and finally displaying the resulting output.

Logical Configuration

The functions used in these examples live in https://github.com/knative/eventing/blob/main/cmd/appender/main.go.

Prerequisites

For this example, we'll assume you have set up an InMemoryChannel as well as Knative Serving (for our functions). The examples use default namespace, again, if you want to deploy to another namespace, you will need to modify the examples to reflect this.

If you want to use different type of Channel, you will have to modify the Sequence.Spec.ChannelTemplate to create the appropriate Channel resources.

Setup

Create the Knative Services

Change default in the following command to create the steps in the namespace where you want resources created:

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: first
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/appender
          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 0"

---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: second
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/appender
          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 1"
---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: third
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/appender
          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 2"
---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1

          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 3"

---
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: fifth
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/appender
          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 4"

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1

          env:
            - name: MESSAGE
              value: " - Handled by 5"
---
kubectl -n default create -f ./steps.yaml

Create the first Sequence

The sequence1.yaml file contains the specifications for creating the Sequence. If you are using a different type of Channel, you need to change the spec.channelTemplate to point to your desired Channel.

apiVersion: flows.knative.dev/v1
kind: Sequence
metadata:
  name: first-sequence
spec:
  channelTemplate:
    apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
    kind: InMemoryChannel
  steps:
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: first
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: second
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: third
  reply:
    ref:
      kind: Sequence
      apiVersion: flows.knative.dev/v1
      name: second-sequence

Change default in the following command to create the Sequence in the namespace where you want your resources created:

kubectl -n default create -f ./sequence1.yaml

Create the second Sequence

The sequence2.yaml file contains the specifications for creating the Sequence. If you are using a different type of Channel, you need to change the spec.channelTemplate to point to your desired Channel.

apiVersion: flows.knative.dev/v1
kind: Sequence
metadata:
  name: second-sequence
spec:
  channelTemplate:
    apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
    kind: InMemoryChannel
  steps:
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: fourth
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: fifth
    - ref:
        apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
        kind: Service
        name: sixth
  reply:
    ref:
      kind: Service
      apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
      name: event-display
kubectl -n default create -f ./sequence2.yaml

Create the Service displaying the events created by Sequence

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: event-display
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-releases/knative.dev/eventing/cmd/event_display

Change default in the following command to create the Sequence in the namespace where you want your resources created:

kubectl -n default create -f ./event-display.yaml

Create the PingSource targeting the first Sequence

This will create a PingSource which will send a CloudEvent with {"message": "Hello world!"} as the data payload every 2 minutes.

apiVersion: sources.knative.dev/v1
kind: PingSource
metadata:
  name: ping-source
spec:
  schedule: "*/2 * * * *"
  contentType: "application/json"
  data: '{"message": "Hello world!"}'
  sink:
    ref:
      apiVersion: flows.knative.dev/v1
      kind: Sequence
      name: first-sequence
kubectl -n default create -f ./ping-source.yaml

Inspecting the results

You can now see the final output by inspecting the logs of the event-display pods.

kubectl -n default get pods

Then look at the logs for the event-display pod:

kubectl -n default logs -l serving.knative.dev/service=event-display -c user-container --tail=-1

    "id": 0,
    "message": "Hello world! - Handled by 0 - Handled by 1 - Handled by 2 - Handled by 3 - Handled by 4 - Handled by 5"
  }

And you can see that the initial PingSource message ("Hello World!") has been appended to it by each of the steps in the Sequence.
