AUTOMATION OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD FUNCTIONS USING THE SERVERLESS FRAMEWORK: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Nowadays, the problems of monitoring the performance and effectiveness of tracking the corresponding software code, detecting errors and debugging the software code in a serverless environment are quite complex problems, the urgency of the solution of which is beyond doubt. Ways to solve these problems for serverless functions using AWS technology are promising. Serverless functions activate the environment each time they are called, so the first run of a serverless function is quite slow due to the need to initialize the environment.
Key aspects of deploying and managing features in cloud environments using the Serverless framework are covered. Emphasis is placed on the importance and practical applications of automation methods in the context of modern cloud computing and the development of serverless applications.
The purpose of the work is the analysis and research of problems related to the use of serverless functions in cloud environments, the determination of the possibilities of using modern principles, technologies and tools, in particular, the Serverless framework for automating the deployment of cloud functions and the development of appropriate software.
The article considered the essence of the approach to automating processes of deployment of cloud functions based on the use of the Serverless framework. Among the advantages of using the Serverless framework, such as reduction of infrastructure tasks, fast and fairly simple deployment, elasticity, scalability and cost savings, simplified monitoring and logging, more time directly for development were highlighted.
An overview of the Serverless framework was provided and a step-by-step guide for creating and deploying serverless features in the AWS cloud environment was provided. Examples of the use of the Serverless framework in solving practical problems were considered, in particular, the creation and deployment of a function for sending push notifications. The proposed approach can be useful in the development of applications using cloud technologies.
