Dyninka: a FaaS framework for distributed dataflow applications
Patrik Fortier, Frédéric Le Mouël, Julien Ponge · 2021
The Internet of Things (IoT) requires applications to deal with a large amount of data - streamed, processed and stored from small devices to analytical systems. Cloud computing offers a hardware solution to this issue, providing on-demand resources to process IoT data. The newer programming paradigms simplify the use of those cloud resources. The Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and the Serverless paradigm transform the conception of microservices applications to the definition and the composition of several callable functions. Although defined as distributed architectures - mostly publicly available solutions rely on either a gateway or an internal messaging middleware. These architectures create a single point of failure in exchange for more straightforward service to service communication.
