Cloudburst: Stateful Functions-as-a-Service

Summary: Cloudburst extends FaaS to stateful computation with Python, Anna-powered autoscaling, and co-located caches for locality. Introduces lattice-encapsulated state and distributed session-consistency protocols, showing reduced overhead and improved consistency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
