Explore cost-performance optimizations for serverless applications on Kubernetes in this 33-minute conference talk by Soam Vasani from Platform9. Examine the challenges faced by current serverless platforms, including platform overhead, unreliable performance, and cold starts. Review popular optimization techniques used in Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, such as function reuse, resource pooling, function locality, and predictive scheduling. Witness practical demonstrations using the open-source, Kubernetes-based Fission FaaS platform to achieve specific goals in latency, throughput, resource utilization, and cost. Gain insights into current performance challenges and future opportunities to enhance FaaS performance.
