tAPP OpenWhisk: A serverless platform for topology-aware allocation priority policies
The Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) paradigm offers a serverless approach that abstracts the management of underlying infrastructure, enabling developers to focus on application logic. However, leveraging infrastructure-aware features can further optimize serverless performance.
We present a software prototype that enhances Apache OpenWhisk serverless platform with a novel architecture incorporating tAPP (topology-aware Allocation Priority Policies), a declarative language designed for specifying topology-aware scheduling policies. Through a case study involving distributed data access across multiple cloud regions, we show that tAPP can significantly reduce latency and minimizes performance variability compared to the standard OpenWhisk implementation.
