Serverless Package Metadata for Reliable Service Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing serverless compute environments lack effective tracking and management of deployed file packages, leading to inefficiencies and resource waste due to improper reliance on unavailable packages, which can render services unusable and require additional computing resources to address.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for providing a data structure that stores information about serverless compute file packages, including approval status and associated services, enabling efficient deployment and management of these packages within the environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If serverless compute file packages are deployed without tracking and management, then deployment speed is improved, but resource waste increases and service reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by creating a data structure that tracks deployment status, approval status, and associations between file packages and serverless compute services. This feedback system allows the system to monitor and manage deployed packages, preventing resource waste while maintaining deployment efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data structure that acts as a mediator between file packages and serverless compute services. This data structure stores information about approved packages and their associations, enabling efficient tracking and management without slowing down the deployment process.
2Ease of operation
If serverless compute file packages are deployed without tracking and management, then deployment simplicity is improved, but service reliability deteriorates due to improper reliance on unavailable packages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-approving file packages and storing their information in a data structure before they are needed by serverless compute services. This allows the system to quickly verify package availability and approval status during deployment, maintaining simplicity while ensuring reliability through advance preparation.
3Productivity
If a data structure is implemented to track serverless compute file packages, then resource management efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system by separating the tracking and management functionality into a distinct data structure that is independent from the core serverless compute execution. This segmentation allows the system to gain resource management efficiency while minimizing the impact on overall system complexity, as the data structure operates as a separate concern.
Data Source
AI summary
In some implementations, a system may cause a serverless compute file package to be included in a serverless compute environment. The system may process the serverless compute file package to determine information associated with the serverless compute file package. The system may cause the information associated with the serverless compute file package to be deployed in the data structure, wherein the information associated with the serverless compute file package indicates at least one serverless compute service that is associated with the serverless compute file package and the serverless compute environment.
