Workload offloading between computing environments

A computer system comprising:

• a processing unit;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processing unit and storing instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processing unit, performing acts including:
• determining a workload of a target function of a service provisioned in a first computing environment;
• determining a processing capacity of the service available for the target function in the first computing environment;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the workload exceeds the processing capacity, causing at least one incoming request for the target function to be routed to a target instance of the target function, the target instance of the target function being provisioned in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by an electronic device to cause the electronic device to perform acts comprising:

• determining a workload of a target function of a service provisioned in a first computing environment;
• determining a processing capacity of the service available for the target function in the first computing environment;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the workload exceeds the processing capacity, causing at least one incoming request for the target function to be routed to a target instance of the target function, the target instance of the target function being provisioned in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment.
