EVALUATION OF SERVERLESS COLD START OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES

Cold start latency remains one of the main challenges in serverless computing, particularly for Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) applications operating under dynamic workloads. Runtime initialization, dependency loading, and resource allocation increase response latency and reduce system performance. Although numerous cold...

Serverless-at-the-Edge Cold Start: SLO-Safe, Cost-Optimal, Carbon-Aware Mitigation

Serverless computing provides a flexible and scalable manner of execution for latency-sensitive applications; nevertheless, cold start delay still remains a critical difficulty, especially when dealing with SLOs (Service Level Objectives). for edge environments that are resource-constrained. Current cold start mitigati...
