Serverless architecture for edge computing
Bahman Javadi, Jingtao Sun, Rajiv Kumar Ranjan · 2020
In this chapter, present a review over two emerging technologies, namely edge computing and serverless computing. Both technologies have great potential to be extended and adopted in next few years for development of smart applications. In addition, there are many cloud providers working toward enabling users to get benefit from these services. We strongly believe that combining these two technologies provides a number of benefits for developers to be able to use the edge -cloud computing systems with less complexity and effort. This paper presented a conceptual framework along with a case study to show how the serverless edge computing architecture can help to develop smart applications. There are several technical challenges that should be investigated in this area, which we have presented as the open questions for future work.
