Process-as-a-Service: Unifying Elastic and Stateful Clouds with Serverless Processes
Pages 223 - 242
Abstract
Fine-grained serverless functions power many new applications that benefit from elastic scaling and pay-as-you-use billing model with minimal infrastructure management overhead. To achieve these properties, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms disaggregate compute and state and, consequently, introduce non-trivial costs due to the loss of data locality when accessing state, complex control plane interactions, and expensive inter-function communication. We revisit the foundations of FaaS and propose a new cloud abstraction, the cloud process, that retains all the benefits of FaaS while significantly reducing the overheads that result from disaggregation. We show how established operating system abstractions can be adapted to provide powerful granular computing on dynamically provisioned cloud resources while building our Process as a Service (PraaS) platform. PraaS improves current FaaS by offering data locality, fast invocations, and efficient communication. PraaS delivers remote invocations up to 17× faster and reduces communication overhead by up to 99%.

FaaSKeeper: Learning from Building Serverless Services with ZooKeeper as an Example
HPDC '24: Proceedings of the 33rd International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed ComputingFaaS (Function-as-a-Service) revolutionized cloud computing by replacing persistent virtual machines with dynamically allocated resources. This shift trades locality and statefulness for a pay-as-you-go model more suited to variable and infrequent ...
Supporting Multi-Provider Serverless Computing on the Edge
ICPP Workshops '18: Workshop Proceedings of the 47th International Conference on Parallel ProcessingServerless computing has recently emerged as a new execution model for cloud computing, in which service providers offer compute runtimes, also known as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, allowing users to develop, execute and manage application ...
Architectural Implications of Function-as-a-Service Computing
MICRO '52: Proceedings of the 52nd Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on MicroarchitectureServerless computing is a rapidly growing cloud application model, popularized by Amazon's Lambda platform. Serverless cloud services provide fine-grained provisioning of resources, which scale automatically with user demand. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS)...
