Adaptive Event Dispatching in Serverless Computing Infrastructures (1901.03086v1)
Published 10 Jan 2019 in cs.DC
Abstract: Serverless computing is an emerging Cloud service model. It is currently gaining momentum as the next step in the evolution of hosted computing from capacitated machine virtualisation and microservices towards utility computing. The term "serverless" has become a synonym for the entirely resource-transparent deployment model of cloud-based event-driven distributed applications. This work investigates how adaptive event dispatching can improve serverless platform resource efficiency and contributes a novel approach that allows for better scaling and fitting of the platform's resource consumption to actual demand.
