Explore the challenges and solutions for Function as a Service (FaaS) cold start latency and autoscaling bottlenecks in this insightful conference talk. Dive into a detailed analysis of the causes behind cold start latency and autoscaling limitations in FaaS environments. Learn about an innovative approach to reduce cold start latency by instantiating new function instances using a combination of memory snapshots and essential code chunks. Discover the concept of elastic function sandboxes and how they can be leveraged to enhance autoscaling speed in response to bursty traffic. Gain valuable insights from the speakers' learnings and test results, equipping yourself with knowledge to optimize FaaS performance and scalability in cloud-native applications.
