Implementation and evaluation of QUIC on serverless architectures

Abstract

Serverless computing has emerged as a tranformative field in the cloud computing world. It is being increasingly adopted in the industry due to the energy and cost savings associated with it. However, communications withing serverless platforms still predominantly use TCP, leading to inherent problems that it faces in the transport layer. To address these drawbacks, QUIC could be used as it provides several features such as built-in security and high-data data transfer, making it a good candidate for secure and efficient communication in serverless computing, thus aligning with the evolving demands of modern cloud-based applications.
