Abstract: Serverless computing has easily brought about changes in software engineering practices by reducing infrastructure requirements and bringing about flexibility. When integrated with API Gateway, AWS Lambda has led this shift towards the new standard of highly efficient, scalable and cost-effective software solutions. This paper compares serverless architecture, based on event-triggered computation and fine-grained functional service execution, with conventional server-intensive architectures. To identify the potential impact of the implementation of AWS Lambda and API Gateway in different sectors, the paper provides literature on the topic and describes its methodology in detail. Such outcomes include improved simplification of the development procedure characterizing the product, better cost regulation, and solution scalability. The discussion also expands the understanding of those concepts, bringing arguments regarding the possibilities and challenges of serverless. Finally, this paper reviews the study’s findings in presenting the current ideal practices in serverless technology and the future directions in using the technology.
