Abstract
Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in cloud environments, revolutionizing the way applications are developed and deployed. In traditional computing models, developers had to manage the underlying infrastructure, server provisioning, and scaling, leading to increased complexity and operational overhead. Serverless computing abstracts away these concerns, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code and delivering business value. This chapter explores the real-world applications and benefits of serverless computing, shedding light on its practical implications for businesses and developers. One of the most significant advantages of serverless computing lies in its ability to dynamically scale resources based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency. This elasticity enables applications to handle variable workloads effectively, avoiding the underutilization or over provisioning of resources.
