Serverless GPU Architecture for Enterprise HR Analytics: A Production-Scale BDaaS Implementation

Industrial and government organizations increasingly depend on data-driven analytics for workforce, finance, and regulated decision processes, where timeliness, cost efficiency, and compliance are critical. Distributed frameworks such as Spark and Flink remain effective for massive-scale batch or streaming analytics but introduce coordination complexity and auditing overheads that misalign with moderate-scale, latency-sensitive inference. Meanwhile, cloud providers now offer serverless GPUs, and models such as TabNet enable interpretable tabular ML, motivating new deployment blueprints for regulated environments. In this paper, we present a production-oriented Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) blueprint that integrates a single-node serverless GPU runtime with TabNet. The design leverages GPU acceleration for throughput, serverless elasticity for cost reduction, and feature-mask interpretability for IL4/FIPS compliance. We conduct benchmarks on the HR, Adult, and BLS datasets, comparing our approach against Spark and CPU baselines. Our results show that GPU pipelines achieve up to 4.5x higher throughput, 98x lower latency, and 90% lower cost per 1K inferences compared to Spark baselines, while compliance mechanisms add only ~5.7 ms latency with p99 < 22 ms. Interpretability remains stable under peak load, ensuring reliable auditability. Taken together, these findings provide a compliance-aware benchmark, a reproducible Helm-packaged blueprint, and a decision framework that demonstrate the practicality of secure, interpretable, and cost-efficient serverless GPU analytics for regulated enterprise and government settings.

AAPA: An Archetype-Aware Predictive Autoscaler with Uncertainty Quantification for Serverless Workloads on Kubernetes

Serverless platforms such as Kubernetes are increasingly adopted in high-performance computing, yet autoscaling remains challenging under highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads. Existing approaches often rely on uniform reactive policies or unconditioned predictive models, ignoring both workload semantics and prediction uncertainty. We present AAPA, an archetype-aware predictive autoscaler that classifies workloads into four behavioral patterns -- SPIKE, PERIODIC, RAMP, and STATIONARY -- and applies tailored scaling strategies with confidence-based adjustments. To support reproducible evaluation, we release AAPAset, a weakly labeled dataset of 300,000 Azure Functions workload windows spanning diverse patterns. AAPA reduces SLO violations by up to 50% and lowers latency by 40% compared to Kubernetes HPA, albeit at 2-8x higher resource usage under spike-dominated conditions. To assess trade-offs, we propose the Resource Efficiency Index (REI), a unified metric balancing performance, cost, and scaling smoothness. Our results demonstrate the importance of modeling workload heterogeneity and uncertainty in autoscaling design.
