Abstract
Emerging serverless computing technologies, such as function as a service (FaaS), enable developers to virtualize the internal logic of an application, simplifying the management of cloud-native services and allowing cost savings through billing and scaling at the level of individual functions. Serverless computing is therefore rapidly shifting the attention of software vendors to the challenge of developing cloud applications deployable on FaaS platforms.
In this vision paper, we present the research agenda
of the RADON project (http://radon-h2020.eu),
which aims to develop a model-driven DevOps framework for creating and managing applications based on
serverless computing. RADON applications will consist of fine-grained and independent microservices that can
efficiently and optimally exploit FaaS and container
technologies. Our methodology strives to tackle complexity in designing such applications, including the solution of optimal decomposition, the reuse of serverless
functions as well as the abstraction and actuation of
event processing chains, while avoiding cloud vendor
lock-in through models.
