Project description
Broadening the software industry’s adoption of serverless computing technologies
Faster, easier and cheaper. This is how the EU-funded RADON project describes the software it will develop. With the goal of broadening the adoption of serverless computing technologies, it will apply function-level scaling and billing, automated orchestration and reuse of microservices and data pipelines. The project will test this new framework in the development of three different applications, which will include fine-grained and independently deployable microservices. Target customer segments include cloud providers, software vendors, system integrators, telecommunication providers, mobile developers and Internet of Things (IoT) vendors. The methodology will strive to tackle complexity, harmonise the abstraction and actuation of action-trigger rules, avoid function-as-a-service (FaaS) lock-in, and optimise decomposition and reuse through model-based FaaS-enabled development and orchestration.
Objective
Emerging serverless computing technologies, such as function-as-a-service (FaaS) offerings, enable developers to virtualize the internal logic of an application, simplifying management of cloud native applications and allowing cost savings through billing and scaling at the level of individual function calls. Serverless computing is therefore rapidly shifting the attention of software vendors to the problem of developing cloud applications that can use these platforms.
RADON aims at creating a DevOps framework to create and manage microservices-based applications that can optimally exploit serverless computing technologies. RADON applications will include fine-grained and independently deployable microservices that can efficiently exploit FaaS and container technologies. The end goal is to broaden the adoption of serverless computing technologies within the European software industry. The methodology will strive to tackle complexity, harmonize the abstraction and actuation of action-trigger rules, avoid FaaS lock-in, and optimize decomposition and reuse through model-based FaaS-enabled development and orchestration.
