This paper presents a study on the performance of the two open source serverless runtimes OpenFaaS and Nuclio.
It is directly based on my Master’s Thesis and covers the most essential results of my work.
I have already covered my additional thoughts on the topic of serverless computing in...
An essential part of science is the ability to recreate the results of a given study as other scientists need to be able to verify and expand on it.
As Karl Popper stated in his book “The Logic of Scientific Discovery”: “Non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science.”

Serverless Computing provides an interesting compute paradigm with significant advantages in certain situations.
In my Master’s thesis I had studied the performance of multiple open source serverless runtimes in comparison.
Specifically, I had taken a closer look at OpenFaaS and Nuclio.
