Towards a Testbed for Scalable FaaS Platforms

Key Points

This testbed assesses how different architectures affect the scalability of FaaS platforms, enhancing performance.
Evaluation metrics show how architecture modifications can lead to significant scalability benefits for cloud applications.
The testbed supports rapid experimentation with various technologies to determine optimal configurations for FaaS.
Understanding these impacts may lead to more efficient cloud platforms that effectively manage resource demands.

Abstract

Most cloud platforms have a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offering that enables users to easily write highly scalable applications. To better understand how the platform's architecture impacts its performance, we present a research-focused testbed that can be adapted to quickly evaluate the impact of different architectures and technologies on the characteristics of scalability-focused FaaS platforms.
