Abstract
A technique for dynamically determining a modification of an initial cloud computing deployment (CCD) of a serverless application with multiple application functions is described. The multiple application functions in the initial CCD are grouped into one or more deployment artifacts each comprising at least one application function, wherein each deployment artifact is associated with a dedicated cloud computing platform type selected from FaaS and CaaS. An apparatus of the present disclosure is configured to obtain at least one requirement for the serverless application or its deployment, and to obtain an application model of the serverless application. The apparatus is further configured to determine, based on the application model and the at least one requirement, a modified CCD of the serverless application, wherein the modified CCD comprises at least one of a modified grouping of the multiple application functions into one or more deployment artifacts and a modified association of a particular deployment artifact with a dedicated cloud computing platform type selected from at least FaaS and CaaS.
