UnFaaSener - Latency and Cost Aware Offloading of Functions from Serverless Platforms

This course teaches learners how to reduce costs and latency in serverless computing by offloading functions to non-serverless resources. The course covers the UnFaaSener framework, which enables users to leverage their own compute resources for cost savings without requiring changes to existing serverless platforms. Learners will understand how to make optimal offloading decisions based on resource availability, latency, cost components, application structure, and quality of service expectations. The course emphasizes asynchronous scheduling, partial offloading at the function level, and adaptiveness in decision-making. The intended audience for this course includes developers and practitioners interested in optimizing serverless applications for cost efficiency and performance.
