Abstract:
Cloud computing is increasingly being used by the scientific community to avoid or minimize up-front infrastructure costs and maintenance. Cloud transparency means accessing local and remote resources using identical operations, being able to hide the complexity of scaling big data volumes. The aim of our work is to broaden current knowledge of interoperability between cloud and locally developed software in a language-agnostic paradigm, following transparency principles to migrate a particular multiprocessing OCaml architecture to serverless. Our results show that developers can benefit from serverless principles, particularly performance scalability, even when maintaining their legacy code architecture with minor modifications.
