SUMMARY:Scale Composite BaaS Services with AFCL Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Larcher and Sashko Ristov (University of Innsbruck)\n\n
 Due to various restrictions in serverless computing, developers face signi
 ficant challenges to pipeline multiple Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) service
 s, which is restricted by the maximum size of the serverless function’s de
 ployment package, or by throughput and concurrency restrictions for functi
 ons and BaaS services. To bridge this gap, we introduce a methodology how 
 to code scalable and composite BaaS services in form of serverless workflo
 ws. Using the Abstract Function Choreography Language (AFCL), we develop a
 nd characterize two scalable and composite BaaS services (i) pdf2SpeechDE,
  which translates a pdf file written in English and converts the extracted
  text into audio file in German; and (ii) Speech2SpeechDE, which translate
 s audio files from English into a single audio file in German. We composed
  pdf2SpeechDE and speech2SpeechDE as a sequence of three BaaS services eac
 h, including split-merge functions for scalability. The characterization s
 howed that there is no dominating provider for individual BaaS services.\n
