Microservice orchestration for serverless computing
Service graphs allow users to define business logic requirements and workflows, enabling them to arrange cloud functions to execute in sequence or concurrently and handle scaling to accommodate varying event load. Cathy Zhang explains how service graphs address the challenge of creating and managing microservice applications.

The microservice paradigm uses many stateless cloud functions to provide a fully functional application. A microservice is typically event-driven, and the cloud functions fulfill the role of event handlers. To support the microservice paradigm in the serverless framework, a mechanism is needed to specify the microservice workflow and the event-function relationship. Service graphs allow users to define business logic requirements and workflows, enabling them to arrange cloud functions to execute in sequence or concurrently and handle scaling to accommodate varying event load. Cathy Zhang explains how service graphs address the challenge of creating and managing microservice applications. This session is sponsored by Huawei.
