Serverless Computing Concepts, Technology and Architecture

Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative technology, gaining prominence over traditional cloud computing. It is characterized by reduced costs, lower latency, and the elimination of server-side management overhead, and is driven by the increasing adoption of containerization and microservices architectures. However, there is a significant lack of comprehensive resources for academic research purposes in this field. Serverless Computing Concepts, Technology, and Architecture addresses this gap and provides a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental concepts, characteristics, challenges, applications, and futuristic approaches of serverless computing. This book serves as a valuable reference for doctorate and post-doctorate research scholars, undergraduates, and postgraduates in fields such as computer science, information technology, electronics engineering, and other related disciplines. Serverless Computing Concepts, Technology, and Architecture is poised to be a one-stop reference point for those seeking to understand and harness the potential of serverless computing. It will serve as a prominent guide for researchers in this field for years to come, enriching their knowledge and advancing the study of serverless computing. Serverless Computing Concepts, Technology, and Architecture delves into the intricate details of this cutting-edge technology, and equips readers with the knowledge to harness its full potential in their research and real-world applications. Its comprehensive coverage includes AWS Lambda, benefits and challenges of containerization, micro service architecture, visual studio code, Function as a Service (FaaS), and much more. This extensive reference book ensures that readers, from doctoral candidates to seasoned professionals, have a reliable source to turn to in the coming years. By addressing the needs of those in pursuit of advanced research, this book stands as an essential cornerstone in the study and advancement of serverless computing.
