Abstract
The illustrative embodiments provide a framework for executing data-centric workflows within the database session, thus achieving workflow execution with no additional process creation, virtualization, or network overhead. The user-provided serverless functions that comprise the application workflow are compiled into native-image binary executables and deployed as stored procedures. Using native-image stored procedures greatly reduces memory and execution time overhead compared to traditional serverless computing frameworks. An application workflow is configured using workflow metadata, which specifies the native-image stored procedures that make up the application workflow and transaction boundaries at runtime. The framework ensures low overhead fault tolerance using run-to-completion and exactly-once semantics.
