QuickFaaS: Providing Portability and Interoperability between FaaS Platforms

Serverless computing hides infrastructure management from developers and runs code on-demand automatically scaled billed during the code’s execution time. One of most popular serverless backend services is called Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), in which are often confronted with cloud-specific requirements. Function signature requirements, usage custom libraries that unique to cloud providers, were identified as two main reasons for portability issues FaaS applications, leading various vendor lock-in problems. In this work, we define three cloud-agnostic models compose platforms. Based on these models, developed QuickFaaS, a multi-cloud interoperability desktop tool targeting functions deployments. The proposed approach enables reuse their different providers no need change or install extra software. We also provide an evaluation validates solution by measuring impact function’s performance, when compared cloud-non-agnostic one. study shows does not significantly performance.
