• Abstract: Cloud-native and microservice architectures have taken over the development world by storm. While being incredibly scalable and resilient, microservice architectures also come at the cost of increased overhead to build and maintain. Google's Service Weaver aims to simplify the complexities associated with implementing cloud-native systems by introducing the concept of a single modular binary composed of agent-like components, thereby abstracting away the microservice architecture notion of individual services. While Service Weaver presents a promising approach to streamline the development of cloud-native applications and addresses nearly all significant aspects of conventional cloud-native systems, there are existing tradeoffs affecting the overall functionality of the system. Notably, Service Weaver's straightforward implementation and deployment of components alleviate the overhead of constructing a complex microservice architecture. However, it is important to acknowledge that certain features, including separate code bases, routing mechanisms, resiliency, and security, are presently lacking in the framework.

• Histrio: a Serverless Actor System [44.99833362998488]
  Histrio is a programming model and execution environment that simplifies the development of stateful applications. It lifts concerns such as state management, database interaction, and programming handling from developers. It guarantees exactly-once-processing consistency, meaning that the application always behaves as if any interaction with external clients was processed once and only once.

  As migrating applications into the cloud is universally adopted by the software industry, have proven to be the most suitable and widely accepted architecture pattern for applications deployed on distributed cloud. Their efficacy is enabled by both technical benefits like reliability, fault isolation, scalability and productivity benefits like ease of asset maintenance and clear ownership boundaries. In some cases, the complexity of migrating an existing application into the architecture becomes overwhelmingly complex and expensive.

• Object as a Service: Simplifying Cloud-Native Development through Serverless Object Abstraction [1.7416288134936873]
  We propose a new paradigm, known as Object as a Service (O) that encapsulates application data and functions into the cloud object abstraction. O relieves developers from resource and data management burden while offering built-in optimization features. We develop a platform named Oparaca that offers state abstraction for structured and unstructured data with consistency and fault-tolerant guarantees.

  Microservices are increasingly used in modern applications, leading to a growing need for effective service composition solutions. Traditional API-centric composition mechanisms introduce rigid code-level coupling, scatter logic, and visibility into cross-service data exchanges. We propose a rethinking of service composition and present Knactor, a new data-centric framework to restore the modularity that were intended to offer.

  We show that a simple encoder-decoder architecture with a ResNet-like backbone and a small multi-scale head, performs on-par or better than complex semantic segmentation architectures such as HRNet, FANet and DDRNet. We present a family of such simple architectures for desktop as well as mobile targets, which match or exceed the performance of complex models on the Cityscapes dataset.

• Towards efficient feature sharing in MIMO architectures [102.40140369542755]
  Multi-input multi-output architectures propose to train multipleworks within one base network and then average the subnetwork predictions to benefit from ensembling for free. Despite some relative success, these architectures are wasteful in their use of parameters. We highlight in this paper that the learned subnetwork fail to share even generic features which limits their applicability on smaller mobile and AR/VR devices.
