The Function-as-a-service (FaaS) computing model has recently seen significant growth especially for highly scalable, event-driven applications. The easy-to-deploy and cost-efficient fine-grained billing of FaaS is highly attractive to big…
Data lakes hold a growing amount of cold data that is infrequently accessed, yet require interactive response times. Serverless functions are seen as a way to address this use case since they offer an appealing alternative to maintaining…
Existing serverless data analytics systems rely on external storage services like S3 for data shuffling and communication between cloud functions. While this approach provides the elasticity benefits of serverless computing, it incurs…
Serverless computing, commonly offered as Function-as-a-Service, was initially designed for small, lean applications. However, there has been an increasing desire to run larger, more complex applications (what we call bulky applications) in…
Antifragility is a novel concept focusing on letting software systems learn and improve over time based on sustained adverse events such as failures. The actor model has been proposed to deal with concurrent computation and has recently…
It is increasingly common to outsource network functions (NFs) to the cloud. However, no cloud providers offer NFs-as-a-Service (NFaaS) that allows users to run custom NFs. Our work addresses how a cloud provider can offer NFaaS. We use the…
Time-evolving stream datasets exist ubiquitously in many real-world applications where their inherent hot keys often evolve over times. Nevertheless, few existing solutions can provide efficient load balance on these time-evolving datasets…
Datacenters are witnessing a rapid surge in the adoption of serverless functions for microservices-based applications. A vast majority of these microservices typically span less than a second, have strict SLO requirements, and are chained…
Adopting serverless computing to edge networks benefits end-users from the pay-as-you-use billing model and flexible scaling of applications. This paradigm extends the boundaries of edge computing and remarkably improves the quality of…
Serverless computing has emerged as a very popular cloud technology, together with its companion Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model enabling invocations of stateless functions from clients. An evolution of serverless is now…
5G and beyond support the deployment of vertical applications, which is particularly appealing in combination with network slicing and edge computing to create a logically isolated environment for executing customer services. Even if…
Serverless computing offers attractive scalability, elasticity and cost-effectiveness. However, constraints on memory, CPU and function runtime have hindered its adoption for data-intensive applications and machine learning (ML) workloads.…
Serverless computing automates fine-grained resource scaling and simplifies the development and deployment of online services with stateless functions. However, it is still non-trivial for users to allocate appropriate resources due to…
The serverless computing paradigm promises many desirable properties for cloud applications - low-cost, fine-grained deployment, and management-free operation. Consequently, the paradigm has underwent rapid growth: there currently exist…
Integrating GPUs into serverless computing platforms is crucial for improving efficiency. However, existing solutions for GPU-enabled serverless computing platforms face two significant problems due to coarse-grained GPU management: long…
Serverless computing, also known as Functions-as-a-Service, is a recent paradigm aimed at simplifying the programming of cloud applications. The idea is that developers design applications in terms of functions, which are then deployed on a…
