A method and a system for selecting and deploying one of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and microservices or Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) comprise selecting a preliminary number of UAVs, microservices or FaaS for deployment by defining possible outcomes for criteria having predefined constraints and associated priority weights, computing a penalty factor score (SPF) based on whether or not each possible outcome violates the constraints, computing a compactness factor score (SCF) based on how close or far the possible outcomes are from an average score of all values falling under a same type of criteria, ranking the possible outcomes using SPF and SCF, and selecting the preliminary number based on the ranking. Positions of the preliminary number of UAVs within the area of interest are determined to maximize coverage and minimize overlap. A placement of the preliminary number of microservices or FaaS is determined to minimized a targeted deployment cost.
