Serverless computing in clouds (part A)

Function as a Service (FaaS) is a cloud computing model that allows users to deploy self-contained functions without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. However, before a function can be executed, initialization work has to be done to prepare the runtime environment and the delay incurre...
