Faasm: Lightweight isolation for efficient stateful serverless computing

S Shillaker, P Pietzuch - … Annual Technical Conference (USENIX ATC 20 …, 2020 - usenix.org
Serverless computing is an excellent fit for big data processing because it can scale quickly
and cheaply to thousands of parallel functions. Existing serverless platforms isolate …

Help rather than recycle: Alleviating cold startup in serverless computing through {Inter-Function} container sharing

Z Li, L Guo, Q Chen, J Cheng, C Xu, D Zeng… - 2022 USENIX Annual …, 2022 - usenix.org
In serverless computing, each function invocation is executed in a container (or a Virtual
Machine), and container cold startup results in long response latency. We observe that some …

Serverless computing: One step forward, two steps back

JM Hellerstein, J Faleiro, JE Gonzalez… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
Serverless computing offers the potential to program the cloud in an autoscaling, pay-as-you
go manner. In this paper we address critical gaps in first-generation serverless computing …

Status of serverless computing and function-as-a-service (faas) in industry and research

GC Fox, V Ishakian, V Muthusamy… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
This whitepaper summarizes issues raised during the First International Workshop on
Serverless Computing (WoSC) 2017 held June 5th 2017 and especially in the panel and …

Stateful Serverless Computing with Crucial

D Barcelona-Pons, P Sutra… - ACM Transactions on …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Serverless computing greatly simplifies the use of cloud resources. In particular, Function-as-
a-Service (FaaS) platforms enable programmers to develop applications as individual …

Photons: Lambdas on a diet

V Dukic, R Bruno, A Singla, G Alonso - … of the 11th ACM Symposium on …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Serverless computing allows users to create short, stateless functions and invoke hundreds
of them concurrently to tackle massively parallel workloads. We observe that even though …

Icebreaker: Warming serverless functions better with heterogeneity

RB Roy, T Patel, D Tiwari - Proceedings of the 27th ACM International …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Serverless computing, an emerging computing model, relies on" warming up" functions prior
to its anticipated execution for faster and cost-effective service to users. Unfortunately …

Pushing serverless to the edge with webassembly runtimes

P Gackstatter, PA Frangoudis… - 2022 22nd IEEE …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Serverless computing has become a popular part of the cloud computing model, thanks to
abstracting away infrastructure management and enabling developers to write functions that …

Transactional causal consistency for serverless computing

C Wu, V Sreekanti, JM Hellerstein - Proceedings of the 2020 ACM …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
We consider the setting of serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, where storage
services are disaggregated from the machines that support function execution. FaaS …
