AWSomePy: A Dataset and Characterization of Serverless Applications
Giuseppe Raffa, Jorge Blasco, Dan O’Keeffe, Santanu Kumar Dash · 2023
Over the last few years, the serverless computing paradigm has become increasingly popular. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness and the possibility of relying on a cloud provider to manage the underlying infrastructure, companies making use of serverless platforms can fully focus on developing the business logic of their products. However, adopting the serverless model also implies facing several performance, traceability and security-related challenges. Some of them can be tackled by analysing real-world applications and identifying key trends, as these can guide the development of novel models and tools. In spite of this, little up-to-date information on such trends is currently available in the literature.
