Performance Evaluation of Serverless Computing Platforms in Cloud Environments

Sumanth Tatineni

Abstract: Serverless computing, driven by automatic scalability and cost-efficiency, stands as a transformative force in cloud environments. However, there are various principles organizations must be aware of to evaluate performance and inform the best platform to choose. These principles emphasize platform selection based on functionality, programming language support, scalability, pricing models, and security features. Performance metrics focus on reducing latency, optimizing resource utilization, and providing tailored insights. They play a pivotal role in gauging platform fitness for a diverse array of application requirements. Furthermore, serverless computing's inherent flexibility and scalability have redefined the landscape of application development, offering a potent solution for the challenges of today's dynamic cloud technology. Embracing these benefits not only streamlines operations and enhances responsiveness but also promotes fiscal responsibility, thus contributing to the ongoing transformation of cloud computing.
