Zusammenfassung: | Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a cloud service model enabling developers to
offload event-driven executable snippets of code. The execution and management
of such functions becomes a FaaS provider's responsibility, hereby included
their on-demand provisioning and automatic scaling. Key enablers for this cloud
service model are FaaS platforms, e.g., AWS Lambda, Microsoft Azure Functions
or OpenFaaS. At the same time, the choice of the most appropriate FaaS platform
for deploying and running a serverless application is not trivial, as various
organizational and technical aspects have to be taken into account. In this
work, we present (i) a FaaS platform classification framework derived using a
mixed method study and (ii) a systematic technology review of the ten most
prominent FaaS platforms, based on the proposed classification framework.
Moreover, we present (iii) a FaaS platform selection support system, called
\faastener, which helps researchers and practitioners to choose the FaaS
platform most suited for their requirements. |
