Serverless Warm Memory: A Distinct Service Category

Serverless platforms optimized for stateless, elastic compute. But memory-bound workloads need the opposite: warm RAM, fast local disk, and sticky routing. This isn't better serverless. It's a different abstraction entirely. We describe the programming model, the platform mechanics, and how memrun implements it.

Stateful by Design: The Missing Serverless Abstraction

Serverless removed servers from the developer's mental model, but it also removed state from first-class support. For data-intensive workloads, that tradeoff is increasingly costly. We built memrun to prove that warm, locality-aware workers can remain serverless in feel while eliminating the state tax that stateless platforms impose.
