Abstract: Serverless computing has gained significant traction in the past few years. Removing most of the provisioning burden from the shoulders of developers, offering a pay-per-use pricing model, and accelerating deployment of scalable applications are some of serverless’s unique attractions. These operational benefits come with efficiency costs, making serverless up to 15x more energy-hungry than native execution. In this talk, the speaker will explore the architectural trade-offs in serverless platforms and share insights from their six-year research journey on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of serverless computing systems.
