Patent attributes
An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing platform including a plurality of processing devices. The processing platform is configured to receive a request to execute an application in a function-as-a-service (“FaaS”) environment, to initiate execution of the application responsive to the request, and to invoke a plurality of application functions with each such application function interacting with one or more backend services in executing the application. The processing platform is further configured to automatically generate an application manifest characterizing relationships between the application functions and the backend services utilized in executing the application, to capture state of the application for a particular point in time based at least in part on the application manifest, and to perform operational recovery of the application for the particular point in time utilizing the captured state. The application manifest illustratively comprises a graph having a plurality of nodes corresponding to respective ones of the application functions and the backend services.
