MXFaaS: Resource Sharing in Serverless Environments for Parallelism and Efficiency
Jovan Stojkovic, Tianyin Xu, Hubertus Franke, Josep Torrellas
Abstract
Although serverless computing is a popular paradigm, current serverless environments have high overheads. Recently, it has been shown that serverless workloads frequently exhibit bursts of invocations of the same function. Such pattern is not handled well in current platforms. Supporting it efficiently can speed-up serverless execution substantially.
