Background
Companies are re-architecting their monolithic information systems with cloud-native architectural patterns such as microservices or Serverless Functions (aka Function as a Service or FaaS). However, the migration to cloud-native must be approached carefully, with a clear migration or development plan and with a deep knowledge of the pros and cons, patterns and antipatterns.
Our research is focused on the investigation of the pros and cons of the different cloud-native solutions, the definition of clear and objective measures to understand if the migration is beneficial or not, and the identification processes, patterns, and anti-patterns for microservices and Serverless Functions / FaaS.
Goal
Our goal is to understand the pros and cons of cloud-native technologies and to support companies to understand when and why adopting each technology.
