GoSpeechLess: Interoperable Serverless ML-based Cloud Services

Kurzfassung

Recently, Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS)-enabled serverless functions have been rapidly gaining traction. However, the dependence on specific provider features and configurations still leads to challenges in terms of portability, underlying platform heterogeneity, and vendor lock-in. To bridge this gap, this paper introduces GoSpeechLess1, a GoLang library for serverless functions that allows developers to code serverless functions with interoperable BaaS services in a uniform manner. GoSpeechLess thereby is able to reduce development effort by improving the maintainability index by up to 23.53 % and reducing LOC by up to 59.4%. The trade-off is up to 9.21% higher runtime overhead.
