Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution.

Abstract: The invention includes a method for error proofing shipments where users are presented with the options of parts marking, parts verification or pack verification using an output device. A user option choice is received using an input device. If the user chooses the parts making option, then a first part number is received from the user and causes the printing of a first quantity of labels in response to the first part number. If the user chooses the parts verification option, then a second part number is received from the user, an identification symbol is scanned using a scanner to identify an identification number associated with the identification symbol, and the identification number is then compared to the second part number. An indication is provided to the user if the identification number and second part number do not match. If the user chooses the pack verification option, then a third part number and quantity is received from the user.
