Possible Criterion: Function Orchestration? #11

Closed jthomas closed 6 years ago

jthomas commented 6 years ago

There is a lots of interest in orchestration capabilities on serverless platforms. These tools or services allow developers to create "meta or higher-order services" from existing functions without writing more code. OpenWhisk has action sequences and, more recently, conductor actions for this. AWS has step functions. I also thought Azure Functions has something in this space but can't find it.

Would this be a valid additional criterion?

disclosure: I work for IBM as an advocate for serverless and am an openwhisk committer.

I sort of abstracted it out using Visual Workflow Editor for now. As FaaS matures, I will definitely bring it out in a more finegraned way. Feel free to re-open this issue if you think there is a solid reason to spell it out
