Framework Node2FaaS: Automatic NodeJS Application Converter for Function as a Service

Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Cloud computing emerged in the area of computer science as a means to achieve significant cost and time savings when starting projects. Among the various cloud models available, this work highlights Function as a Service - FaaS, and proposes the Node2FaaS framework for automatic conversion of applications written in NodeJS to work in a transparent way with the FaaS model. The experiments demonstrated significant gains of up to 170% at runtime for applications with high file I/O requirements. Applications with high CPU and RAM consumption also have benefits in adopting FaaS after conversion, but only when a threshold of competing processes is reached.
