“…Once submitted to Node2FaaS, this code will be published in a cloud provider and, in its place, in the converted application, a URI call will appear pointing to the REST API provided by the provider as a result of publication. In short, the original code of the functions FIGURE 2: Node2FaaS architecture [10].…”

“…A preliminary version of the Node2FaaS framework was presented at [9] containing its main functionalities, such as the conversion process of node.js applications and automatic publication of functions in the AWS provider using the API of the provider itself. A multicloud approach was introduced to Node2FaaS through the incorporation of the Terraform cloud orchestrator and integration with FaaS solutions from AWS, Google and Azure [10]. Although the framework was able to prove that its RPC-oriented approach was able to considerably reduce the execution time of certain applications, these were specific to the experiments with the framework.…”

“…In the preliminary version [9], use cases were pre-defined to stress certain aspects, such as CPU, memory and I/O. In the subsequent version [10], the concept of multicloud was introduced through the adoption of the Terraform [11] cloud orchestrator. In this work, the Node2FaaS framework was used to convert an application for genetic sequence alignment.…”

The Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) service model has aroused great interest since its introduction in the context of cloud computing. Although FaaS can be used to perform isolated tasks, it is in the composition of applications that this service model can promote significant performance improvements. This work presents an evolution in the Node2FaaS framework, whose objective is to assist in the conversion of originally monolithic node.js applications to work with FaaS in the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication mechanism. The new implementations in the Node2FaaS framework allowed new experiments to be conducted. Those showed significant gains in runtime for applications with CPU-bound, memory-bound, I/O-bound characteristics, especially for a Bioinformatics application that aims to align genetic sequences.

Cloud applications often benefit from deployment on serverless technology Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), which may instantly spawn numerous functions and charges users for the period when serverless functions are running. Maximum benefit is achieved when functions are orchestrated in a workflow or function choreographies (FCs). However, many provider limitations specific for FaaS, such as maximum concurrency or duration often increase the failure rate, which can severely hamper the execution of entire FCs. Current support for resilience is often limited to function retries or try-catch, which are applicable within the same cloud region only. To overcome these limitations, we introduce rAF CL, a middleware platform that maintains reliability of complex FCs in federated clouds. In order to support resilient FC execution under rAF CL, our model creates an alternative strategy for each function based on the required availability specified by the user. Alternative strategies are not restricted to the same cloud region, but may contain alternative functions across five providers, invoked concurrently in a single alternative plan or executed subsequently in multiple alternative plans. With this approach, rAF CL offers flexibility in terms of cost-performance trade-off. We evaluated rAF CL by running three real-life applications across three cloud providers. Experimental results demonstrated that rAF CL outperforms the resilience of AWS Step Functions, increasing the success rate of entire FC by 53.45%, while invoking only 3.94% more functions with zero wasted function invocations. rAF CL significantly improves availability of entire FCs to almost 1 and survives even after massive failures of alternative functions.
