Function as a service: a new cloud programming model
Abstract
Function as a service (FaaS) is the latest major addition to the already complex and diverse cloud computing landscape. Initially introduced by Amazon in 2014, it now rapidly evolves by vendors and open source projects. I will describe FaaS, its advantages, its use in event-driven IoT scenarios. Since FaaS is in its early stage - I will discuss research challenges with this approach.
