Method and apparatus for orchestrating cross-faas provider functions declaratively

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing program instructions for executing a workflow definition in a cloud architecture, wherein the workflow definition comprising a set of function definitions having code executable with at least one cloud services provider in a plurality of cloud services providers, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a request to execute a function definition from the workflow definition;
• determining whether the function definition comprises code only executable with a specific cloud services provider in the plurality of cloud services providers;
• invoking a provider function at the specific cloud services provider using the function definition based on the determination;
• and
• transmitting an execute command for the provider function.

A system in a cloud architecture for executing a workflow definition in a cloud architecture, wherein the workflow definition comprising a set of function definitions having code executable with at least one cloud services provider in a plurality of cloud services providers, the system comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive a request to execute a function definition from the workflow definition;
• determine whether the function definition comprises code only executable with a specific cloud services provider in the plurality of cloud services providers;
• invoke a provider function at the specific cloud services provider using the function definition based on the determination;
• and
• transmit an execute command for the provider function.
