An Investigation Of The Impact Of Language Runtime On The Performance And Cost Of Serverless Functions, David Jackson, Gary Clynch Jan 2018

An Investigation Of The Impact Of Language Runtime On The Performance And Cost Of Serverless Functions, David Jackson, Gary Clynch

Conference Papers

Serverless, otherwise known as “Function-as-a- Service” (FaaS), is a compelling evolution of cloud computing that is highly scalable and event-driven. Serverless applications are composed of multiple independent functions, each of which can be implemented in a range of programming languages. This paper seeks to understand the impact of the choice of language runtime on the performance and subsequent cost of serverless function execution. It presents the design and implementation of a new serverless performance testing framework created to analyse performance and cost metrics for both AWS Lambda and Azure Functions. For optimum performance and cost management of serverless applications, Python …


An Analysis Of Software Testing Practices On Migrations From On Premise To Cloud Hosted Environments, Ronan Mullen Jan 2018

An Analysis Of Software Testing Practices On Migrations From On Premise To Cloud Hosted Environments, Ronan Mullen

Dissertations

This research project examines the differences between software testing practices that are carried out on software that is installed locally (i.e. on premise) versus software that has migrated to a cloud hosted environment. In conjunction with this, focus was placed on determining what methodologies and frameworks are in existence for assisting with software migrations to the cloud. The reason for carrying out this research project was that the transition to cloud computing is becoming more and more mainstream, as a result organisations are required to focus their efforts on how best to move their software to the cloud while ensuring …
