A platform for lightweight deployment of IoT applications based on a Function-as-a-Service model

Abstract

This paper presents a platform to facilitate the deployment of applications in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The platform allows to the programmers to use a Function-as-a-Service programming paradigm that are managed and configured in a Platform-as-a-Service web tool. The tool also allows to establish interoperability between the functions of the applications. The proposed platform obtained faster and easier deployments of the applications and the resource usages of the IoT devices also were lower in relation to a deployment process based in containers of Docker.
