Abstract
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has become a popular programming paradigm in Serverless Computing. As the responsibility of resource provisioning shifts from users to cloud providers, the ease of use of FaaS for users may come at the expense of extra hardware costs for cloud providers. Currently, there is no report on how FaaS platforms address this challenge and the level of hardware utilization they achieve.
