Abstract
Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative cloud paradigm, offering organizations a cost-efficient, scalable, and operationally simplified alternative to traditional infrastructure. With the global serverless computing market projected to reach $36.84 billion by 2028, its adoption is accelerating across industries. However, as serverless workloads continue to grow, so does their environmental impact. Data centers already account for 1% of global electricity consumption, and energy-efficient serverless computing has become a critical research area.
This talk explores the intersection of energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in serverless computing, presenting innovative strategies for workload optimization, energy-aware autoscaling, and green energy integration. By leveraging predictive scaling algorithms, organizations can reduce energy consumption by up to 40% while maintaining performance. Hardware-software co-design, including ARM-based processors, has demonstrated 30% higher energy efficiency in serverless workloads. Additionally, optimized function chaining and data-aware orchestration can cut energy costs by 25% by minimizing redundant data transfers.
The session will also discuss cutting-edge energy-aware pricing models, where carbon-aware serverless pricing could incentivize up to 50% reduction in energy waste. Real-world case studies will highlight how organizations have achieved cost reductions of up to 60% through dynamic serverless resource allocation and energy profiling tools. Attendees will gain insights into standardized benchmarking methodologies, the challenges of multi-tenant energy measurement, and the need for regulatory compliance in sustainable cloud computing.
As organizations seek to balance cost, performance, and environmental responsibility, this session will provide actionable insights into designing serverless applications that are not only cost-effective but also carbon-conscious, setting the stage for the next era of sustainable cloud computing.

Hello, everyone.
My name is Neetu Gangwani.
Today, I'm going to represent energy efficient, cost optimized
serverless computing strategies, challenges and future directions.
Serverless computing has transformed cloud computing, offering remarkable
cost saving and operational simplicity.
However, the growing adoption of serverless workloads raises
concern about energy footprints.
This presentation explores the intersection of energy efficiency
and cost effectiveness in serverless computing, highlighting innovative
strategies and addressing key challenges.
Join us as we delve into the future of sustainable cloud computing.
Now let's see why the serverless computing is in trend.
The main reason serverless computing is in trend is because scaling on demand.
Serverless platforms dynamically adjusts computing resources within
milliseconds, automatically scaling from handling a few requests to
the millions without intervention.
This intelligence scaling ensures optimal performance while preventing both resource
wastages and the application's bottleneck.
Another one is pay per use pricing.
With a revolutionary pricing model, organizations only pay for precise
computation time in milliseconds.
This granular approach can reduce cloud costs by 40 80 percent compared to
traditional servers, making enterprise grade computing accessible to all.
Another one is Simplified Operations By abstracting away infrastructure
complexity, serverless enables developers to deploy 4x faster.
Teams can focus on innovation and business logic rather than managing servers,
security patches, scaling, configurations, dramatically accelerating time to market.
Next, Addressing the Energy Footprints of Serverless
So first one is energy aware auto scaling.
Advanced machine learning algorithm analyze historical workload patterns
in real time metrics to dynamically optimize resource allocation, reducing
energy waste by up to 30 percent while maintaining sub millisecond response time.
Another one is hardware software co design.
Integration of ARM based processor and simply specialized hardware escalator.
delivers up to 40 percent power saving compared to traditional x86
architecture while custom firmware optimization further energy efficiency.
Third one is function chaining optimization intelligent function
orchestration reduces inter function communication overhead by 50 percent
through strategic co location and data caching while automated workflow
analysis eliminates redundant compute cycle and memory operations.
Emerging Energy Aware Pricing Model.
So what is 40 percent is a reduction, whereas 25 percent is the cost saving.
Advanced Carbon Aware Pricing Model factor in real time energy cost and
environmental impact driving up to 40 percent reduction in data center power.
consumption through smart workload scheduling and resource optimization
and 25 percent in the cost saving implementation of AI driven
resources allocations and energy monitoring tools results in 25
percent average cost saving enabling.
Organizational automatically shift workloads to time and reason
with optimal energy efficiency.
Let's see the real world case studies and success stories.
First one is retail.
A Fortune 500 retailer transformed their Black Friday operation by implementing
serverless computing, handling 2.
5 million transactions per reducing server energy consumption by 60%.
This resulted in 2.
1 million annual cost saving while maintaining 100ms response time.
Healthcare, a national healthcare network, revolutionized patient
care by processing real time health data through serverless function.
This enables analysis of 50, 000 patients record per minute while
cutting energy usage by 40%, leading the faster diagnosis and 800, 000
dollars in annual infrastructure saving.
Another one is financial services.
A global investment firm modernized their trending platform using serverless
architecture, processing 100, 000 transactions per second with 99.
99 percent reliability.
This transformation slashed energy consumption by 30 percent and reduce
