Fission’s own Erwin van Eyk gave a talk at KubeCon China, where he investigates optimizations techniques used in current FaaS platforms and research that helps to optimize the trade-off between cost and performance. He reviews function reuse, autoscaling, resource pooling, function locality, predictive scheduling, and autoscaling. To illustrate these practices along the way, he uses Fission, the open source, Kubernetes-native FaaS platform to demonstrate how you can achieve specific goals around latency, throughput, resource utilization, and cost.

At its core a FaaS runtime requires a container engine of some sort that it can insert functions into, so it is no surprise that almost four years after the Lambda announcement that there are now five FaaS runtimes installable on top of Kubernetes (K8S) that have more than 3,000 stars on GitHub. A sixth behemoth looms on that horizon as well.
