The new Amazon capability enables customers to improve the startup latency of their functions from several seconds to as low as sub-second (up to 10 times faster) at P99 (the 99th latency percentile). This can cause latency outliers and may lead to a poor end-user experience for latency-sensitive applications.

How we migrated our Android endpoints out of a monolith into a new microservice by Rohan Dhruva , Ed Ballot As Android developers, we usually have the luxury of treating our backends as magic boxes running in the cloud, faithfully returning us JSON. Background The Netflix Android app uses the falcor data model and query protocol.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs Tan et al., If you’re moving an OLAP workload to the cloud (AWS in the context of this paper), what DBMS setup should you go with? It is advantageous in the cloud to shut down compute resources when they are not being used, but there is then a query latency cost.

Today’s paper choice is a fresh-from-the-arXivs take on serverless computing from the RISELab at Berkeley, addressing some of the limitations outlined in last year’s ‘ Berkeley view on serverless computing.’ A low-latency autoscaling KVS can serve as both global storage and a DHT-like overlay network.

Formal foundations of serverless computing Jangda et al., won a distinguished paper award at OOPSLA this year for their work on ‘Formal foundations of serverless computing.’ They show the conditions under which a serverless function can safely ignore these peculiarities, and thus become much simpler to reason about.
