Abstract
Serverless computing offers a number of advantages over conventional, Virtual Machine (VM) based deployments on the cloud, e.g., greater elasticity, simplicity of use and management, finer granularity billing, and rapid deployment and start up times. Naturally, there is a growing interest in exploring how to run applications in this new environment and data analytics is not an exception. Unfortunately, current serverless platforms are limited along several dimensions, which makes things quite difficult from the perspective of data analytics. In this paper we explore what serverless has to offer today, what is missing, and what can be done to make serverless a better computing platform in general and for data analytics in particular.
