Serverless Computing: Architecture, Concepts, and Applications

Abstract

Recently, serverless computing has gained recognition as a leading cloud computing method. Providing a solution that does not require direct server and infrastructure management, this technology has addressed many traditional model problems by eliminating them. Therefore, operational complexity and costs are reduced, allowing developers to concentrate on writing and deploying software without worrying about server management. This chapter examines the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of serverless computing, implementation environments, and reasons for its use. Additionally, integrating this computing paradigm with other technologies is examined to address the challenges of managing, securing, and implementing large amounts of data. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive view of the potentials and limitations of serverless computing by comparing its applications in different industries and examining the future trends of this technology. Lastly, this chapter provides a comprehensive conclusion of the applications and challenges of serverless computing.
