Thanks, Marc! I'd like to note that STeLLAR is available on GitHub (github.com/ease-lab/STeLLAR) so the community can give it a try STeLLAR supports benchmarking AWS, Azure and Google FaaS as well as vHive/Knative (github.com/ease-lab/vhive)

"Analyzing Tail Latency in Serverless Clouds with STeLLAR" by @DmitriiUstiugov and team is a good read. It's great to see progress on ways to compare serverless performance, and to categorize the behavior of different serverless implementations. ease-lab.github.io/ease_webs…

A productive summer for the vHive team at @ease_lab! A lot of credit goes to our fantastic project students and interns: @boramalper @mikebaczun @shyam_jesal @TAmariucai 👏 Stay tuned for more updates 👀
vHive v1.4 (github.com/ease-lab/vhive/re…) adds Google gVisor uVMs support along with Firecracker uVMs, and regular containers! Now you can experiment with a serverless cluster comprising any of these tech-s. Credit to TU Munich's students, Nathaniel Tornow and Alexandrina Panfil

In the new release, vHive combines the provider and the user tracing for comprehensive performance analysis 💪 Credit to the vHive team at @ease_lab
vHive v1.3 release comes with the guides for porting arbitrary serverless workloads to #vHive, and analyzing their performance end-to-end & in-depth. We added tracing, showing both the provider and the user components (figures below). Got interesting workloads? Reach out!👍
