Abstract
Predicting execution duration for user-defined functions on function-as-a-service (FaaS) cloud computing platforms is disclosed herein. In one example, a processor device of an FaaS cloud computing platform detects an event that triggers execution of a user-defined function, and automatically fetches an environmental metric that represents a current attribute or condition of the operating environment in which the user-defined function will execute. The processor device then calculates a predicted execution duration for the user-defined function based on the environmental metric, and compares the predicted execution duration to an execution duration threshold. If the predicted execution duration exceeds the execution duration threshold, the processor device prevents execution of the user-defined function by the FaaS cloud computing platform. If the predicted execution duration does not exceed the execution duration threshold, the processor device may initiate execution of the user-defined function. In this manner, the FaaS cloud computing platform's computing resources may be conserved.
