Abstract

A lexical analyzer is provided to analyze serverless application code to help ensure that the serverless application is portable between different execution environments. The lexical analyzer may identify non-portable features of the application, and alerts of these features may be provided to users. A transfer tool may be provided to assist in transferring a serverless application between computing platforms, such as by converting the portable serverless application to a container format. An interface may be provided that subscribes, on behalf of a container, to receive notifications of triggering events from a computing platform's notification service. The interface may provide a message to the container to indicate an occurrence of a triggering event, which may trigger execution of a serverless function by the container.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A computing system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more memories having stored therein computing instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving code corresponding to a serverless computing application, wherein the serverless computing application is under development in an integrated development environment;
parsing the code to identify at least a first keyword included in the code;
comparing the first keyword to syntax information that indicates portability characteristics of a plurality of keywords between execution environments, wherein the syntax information comprises a list of portable keywords of the plurality of keywords that are portable between the execution environments, and wherein the syntax information is compiled based at least in part on one or more machine learning algorithms that receive feedback associated with execution environment transfer attempts;
determining, based at least in part on the syntax information, that the first keyword is non-portable between the execution environments;
and
displaying, within an interface of the integrated development environment, a visual alert of a non-portability of the first keyword.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computing instructions that, upon execution by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

receiving code corresponding to a serverless computing application;
parsing the code to identify at least a first keyword included in the code;
comparing the first keyword to syntax information that indicates portability characteristics of a plurality of keywords between execution environments, wherein the syntax information comprises a list of non-portable keywords of the plurality of keywords that are nonportable between the execution environments, and wherein the syntax information is compiled based at least in part on one or more machine learning algorithms that receive feedback associated with execution environment transfer attempts;
determining, based at least in part on the syntax information, that the first keyword is non-portable between the execution environments;
and
providing an indication of a non-portability of the first keyword.
