To start developing your first Functions, you need:

• Self-hosted Kubernetes cluster and the KUBECONFIG file to authenticate to the cluster
• Kyma as the platform for managing the Function-related workloads
• Docker as the container runtime
• kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool, for running commands against clusters
• Development environment of your choice:
  • Kyma CLI to easily initiate inline Functions or Git Functions locally, run, test, and later apply them on the clusters
  • Node.js (v14 or v16) or Python (v3.9)
  • IDE as the source code editor
  • Kyma Dashboard to manage Functions and related workloads through the graphical user interface
