Dev discussion with Rocky Madden, avid functional programming, computational science, and high-scalability engineer. Lover of the sciences. Core contributor on the Cloud Elements Platform team. Background: The Cloud Elements Platform is transitioning towards more microservices, including serverless microservices, in its architecture.
One of the key pieces in extending our platform is the use of a Functions-as-a-Service platform. Functions compute and execute code triggered by events, on a regular schedule, or in an ad-hoc manner. However, current commercial and open source services have issues with performance, cost, and most importantly lack features for our use cases, so we built our own Functions as a Service (FaaS) platform. https://goo.gl/c99wws #DataIntegration #ML
