Methods and systems are provided for assigning nodes to execute functions in a serverless computing environment. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a function for execution in a serverless computing environment and identifying a storage pool needed during execution of the function. The serverless computing environment may include nodes for executing functions and a first set of nodes may be identified that implement the storage pool. Colocation measures may be determined between the first set of nodes and a second set of nodes. Available computing resources may be determined for the second set of nodes, such as available processing cores and available memory. The second set of nodes may be ranked according to the colocation measures and the available computing resources and a first node may be selected based on the ranking. The first node may be assigned to execute the function.

Serverless function colocation with storage pools

Disclosed herein are methods, apparatuses, and systems for operating a tiered queuing system that includes: identifying a first segment to be evicted from a local storage in a first region based on an eviction policy; storing the first segment in a cold storage provided by a cloud service provider in the first region; deleting at least one instance of the first segment from the local storage in the first region; indicating in a segment index that the first segment is stored in the cold storage; responsive to receipt of a read request, reading an entry in the segment index for a second segment; and responsive to an indication that the second segment is stored by the cloud service provider, copying the second segment to the local storage and responding to the read request using the second segment stored in the local storage.
