Remote Procedure Call Approach using the Node2FaaS Framework with Terraform for Function as a Service

Cloud computing has evolved into a scenario where multiple providers make up the list of services that process client workloads, resulting in Functions as a Service. Because of this, this work proposes an approach of using RPC based FaaS. Using the Node2FaaS framework as a NodeJS application converter and integrated with Terraform as a cloud orchestrator. So, CPU, memory and I/O overhead tests were performed on a local environment and on the three main FaaS services: AWS Lambda, Google Functions and Azure Functions. The results showed significant runtime gains between the local environment and FaaS services, reaching up to a 99% reduction in runtime when the tests were run on cloud providers.
