Query: Function-as-a-Service Performance Evaluation: A Multivocal Literature
  Review   Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is one form of the serverless cloud computing
paradigm and is defined through FaaS platforms (e.g., AWS Lambda) executing
event-triggered code snippets (i.e., functions). Many studies that empirically
evaluate the performance of such FaaS platforms have started to appear but we
are currently lacking a comprehensive understanding of the overall domain. To
address this gap, we conducted a multivocal literature review (MLR) covering
112 studies from academic (51) and grey (61) literature. We find that existing
work mainly studies the AWS Lambda platform and focuses on micro-benchmarks
using simple functions to measure CPU speed and FaaS platform overhead (i.e.,
container cold starts). Further, we discover a mismatch between academic and
industrial sources on tested platform configurations, find that function
triggers remain insufficiently studied, and identify HTTP API gateways and
cloud storages as the most used external service integrations. Following
existing guidelines on experimentation in cloud systems, we discover many flaws
threatening the reproducibility of experiments presented in the surveyed
studies. We conclude with a discussion of gaps in literature and highlight
methodological suggestions that may serve to improve future FaaS performance
evaluation studies.
