Off-the-shelf Data Analytics on Serverless

Summary: Demonstrates how to transparently run off-the-shelf distributed analytics engines on existing commercial serverless platforms (e.g., unmodified Apache Spark and Drill on AWS Lambda) by adding a thin runtime layer. Presents TPC-H results and a roadmap to make serverless a general-purpose analytics substrate. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
