Continuous integration of faas driven by quality attributes

Abstract

The expansion of the cloud has led to the development of serverless applications in which there is no need to be concerned about infrastructure, that can be considered as a service provider in the form of functions, which is known as FaaS (Function as a Service). The development of these applications consists of implementing independent functions that will communicate with each other. This work aims to explore how to combine FaaS and the continuous integration philosophy of DevOps so that applications operators can continuously re-deploy different implementations of functions in order to meet some quality of service requirements, such as latency or energy consumption.
