Serverless Computing Architectures and Applications in AWS

Abstract

Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in cloud computing, offering scalable and cost-effective solutions for various application scenarios. This paper explores serverless computing architectures and their applications within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem. We delve into the fundamental concepts of serverless computing, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and key components. The focus then shifts to AWS-specific implementations, detailing services such as AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, which constitute core components of serverless architectures. Practical examples and case studies illustrate how serverless computing can be leveraged to enhance scalability, reduce operational overhead, and optimize costs in real-world applications. Additionally, security considerations and best practices are addressed to ensure robust deployment of serverless applications on AWS. The paper concludes with an outlook on future trends and potential advancements in serverless computing within AWS.
