# OpenShift Serverless overview {#about-serverless}

OpenShift Serverless provides Kubernetes native building blocks that enable developers to create and deploy serverless, event-driven applications on OpenShift Container Platform. OpenShift Serverless is based on the open source [Knative project](https://knative.dev/docs/), which provides portability and consistency for hybrid and multi-cloud environments by enabling an enterprise-grade serverless platform.

> [!NOTE]
> Because OpenShift Serverless releases on a different cadence from OpenShift Container Platform, the OpenShift Serverless documentation is now available as a separate documentation set at [Red Hat OpenShift Serverless](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_openshift_serverless).
