Python Function as a Service - custom name pending

We intend to provide a Function as a Service solution that will accomplish the following:

• run Python functions within ephemeral containers (such as Docker)
• scaling Python functions across multiple cloud vendors (such as AWS, GCloud, Azure ...)
• capturing metrics from the running ephemeral containers (for example, through http://opentracing.io/)
• based on the captured metrics, model the function scalability such as:
  • to automatically create alarms (for scaling) in Amazon CloudWatch
  • scale dynamically with Docker containers

• current LaTeX documentation available both in docs/paper.tex, and on Overleaf (read-only)
