Abstract

Serverless computing simplifies the life cycle of scalable web applications, through delegating most of the operational concerns to the cloud providers. One prominent serverless platform is Apache OpenWhisk which is employed by IBM Cloud. Despite the apparent benefits of serverless computing, some limitations of the serverless platform, such as the state-less nature of serverless functions, can introduce scalability bottlenecks. In this work, we propose an analysis and benchmarking approach for investigating potential bottlenecks and limitations of Apache OpenWhisk serverless platform.
