The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Next generation cloud computing: New trends and research directions (2017, background): “control, cost and exibility are considered. In this novel approach, functions (modules) of the application will be executed when necessary without requiring the application to be running all the time [58, 59]. Sometimes this is also referred to as Functionas-a-Service or event-based programming [60]”
Serverless in the Wild: Characterizing and Optimizing the Serverless Workload at a Large Cloud Provider (2020, background): “Prior work [3, 15, 24, 25, 27, 44] has focused on either (1) running benchmark functions to assess performance and/or reverse-engineer how providers manage resources; or (2) implementing prototype systems to run benchmark functions.”
SAND: Towards High-Performance Serverless Computing (2018, background): “[41] proposed a queuing scheme with workers announcing their availability in warm and cold queues, where containers can be reused and new containers can be created, respectively.”
Peeking Behind the Curtains of Serverless Platforms (2018, background): “[34] conducted preliminary measurements on four serverless platforms, and found”
SOCK: Rapid Task Provisioning with Serverless-Optimized Containers (2018, methodology): “Prior studies have ported various applications to the lambda model in order to evaluate platform performance [21, 33].”
