Can Jina be deployed without running a server all the time?

Question:

I am wondering if Jina can be deployed without running a server all time? My use case would work better with async API queries (event-driven) instead of a server that is always live and people can ping.

I did try to find in jina docs but unsure if it’s possible.

Answers:

Jina is built with a Client-Server architecture with multiple options of the Gateway protocol (gRPC, HTTP & Websocket).

But, it is not so straightforward to change it to an event driven architecture.
We have a blog about Knative integration with Jina, this might help you-
