Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) struggles with burst-parallel jobs due to needing multiple independent invocations to start a job. The lack of a group invocation primitive complicates application development and overlooks crucial aspects like…
In a continuous deployment setting, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) applications frequently receive updated releases, each of which can cause a performance regression. While continuous benchmarking, i.e., comparing benchmark results of the…
FaaS offers significant advantages with its infrastructure abstraction, on-demand execution, and attractive no idle resource pricing for modern cloud applications. Despite these benefits, challenges such as startup latencies, static…
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…
Function as a Service (FaaS) paradigm is becoming widespread and is envisioned as the next generation of cloud systems that mitigate the burden for programmers and cloud solution architects. However, the FaaS abstraction only makes the…
The massive growth of mobile and IoT devices demands geographically distributed computing systems for optimal performance, privacy, and scalability. However, existing edge-to-cloud serverless platforms lack location awareness, resulting in…
Serverless computing is a cloud computing paradigm that allows developers to focus exclusively on business logic as cloud service providers manage resource management tasks. Serverless applications follow this model, where the application…
Rapid adoption of the serverless (or Function-as-a-Service, FaaS) paradigm, pioneered by Amazon with AWS Lambda and followed by numerous commercial offerings and open source projects, introduces new challenges in designing the cloud…
Serverless computing is a popular cloud computing paradigm that frees developers from server management. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is the most popular implementation of serverless computing, representing applications as event-driven and…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is at the core of serverless computing, enabling developers to easily deploy applications without managing computing resources. With an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach, frameworks like the Serverless…
Serverless technologies, also known as FaaS (Function as a Service), are promoted as solutions that provide dynamic scalability, speed of development, cost-per-consumption model, and the ability to focus on the code while taking attention…
Applications that fuse machine learning and simulation can benefit from the use of multiple computing resources, with, for example, simulation codes running on highly parallel supercomputers and AI training and inference tasks on…
We present a framework for scheduling multifunction serverless applications over a hybrid public-private cloud. A set of serverless jobs is input as a batch, and the objective is to schedule function executions over the hybrid platform to…
In FaaS, users invoke remote functions, which encapsulate service(s). These functions typically need to remotely access a persistent state via external services: this makes the paradigm less attractive in edge systems, especially for IoT…
Serverless computing, particularly Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), has revolutionized cloud computing by abstracting infrastructure management and enabling dynamic resource allocation. This paper examines the performance and compatibility of…
Since the appearance of Amazon Lambda in 2014, all major cloud providers have embraced the Function as a Service (FaaS) model, because of its enormous potential for a wide variety of applications. As expected (and also desired), the…
Serverless computing with cloud functions is quickly gaining adoption, but constrains programmers with its limited support for state management. We introduce a shared file system for cloud functions. It offers familiar POSIX semantics while…
Serverless functions provide elastic scaling and a fine-grained billing model, making Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) an attractive programming model. However, for distributed jobs that benefit from large-scale and dynamic parallelism, the…
HPC and Cloud have evolved independently, specializing their innovations into performance or productivity. Acceleration as a Service (XaaS) is a recipe to empower both fields with a shared execution platform that provides transparent access…
Serverless computing paradigm has become more ingrained into the industry, as it offers a cheap alternative for application development and deployment. This new paradigm has also created new kinds of problems for the developer, who needs to…
