Software developers are faced with the issue of either adapting their programming model to the execution model (e.g. cloud platforms) or finding appropriate tools to adapt the model and code automatically. A recent execution model which would benefit from automated enablement is Function-as-a-Service. Automating this process requires a pipeline which includes steps for code analysis, transformation and deployment. In this paper, we outline the design and runtime characteristics of Podilizer, a
