Serverless Data Science - Are We There Yet? A Case Study of Model Serving
Summary: Comprehensive performance/cost evaluation of serverless model serving on AWS/GCP; serverless outperforms cloud-based options and GPU setups. Outlines a design space (platforms, runtimes, parameters) and offers guidance for serverless model serving. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
