Microservices, containers, and serverless computing belong to a trend toward applications composed of many small, self-contained, and automatically managed components. Core to serverless computing, function-as-a-service (FaaS) platforms employ state-of-the-art container technology and microservices-based architectures to enable users to manage complex applications without the need for system-level expertise. Victim of its own success, and partially due to proprietary technology, currently the community has a limited overview of these platforms. To address this, we propose a reference architecture and ecosystem for FaaS platforms. Based on a year-long survey of real-world platforms conducted within the SPEC-RG Cloud Group, we highlight specific components and identify common operational patterns.

FaaS 的 SPEC-RG 参考架构：从微服务和容器到无服务器平台

微服务、容器和无服务器计算属于由许多小型、自包含和自动管理的组件组成的应用程序的趋势。作为无服务器计算的核心，功能即服务 (FaaS) 平台采用最先进的容器技术和基于微服务的架构，使用户无需系统级专业知识即可管理复杂的应用程序。其自身成功的受害者，部分是由于专有技术，目前社区对这些平台的概述有限。为了解决这个问题，我们为 FaaS 平台提出了一个参考架构和生态系统。基于对 SPEC-RG Cloud Group 内进行的为期一年的真实平台调查，我们重点介绍了特定组件并确定了常见的操作模式。
