Overview:

Serverless Computing is a paradigm shift in distributed computing. Recently, many companies rely on serverless computing for their product application development and deployment, marketing analysis and customer relationship without investing excess on infrastructure development and maintenance. This book aims to bring single point of resources for researchers and readers on wide aspects of the Serverless computing. When we talk about serverless cloud computing, it brings about tremendous changes in the post-virtual-machine environment. Companies other than technology sectors are using serverless platforms and frameworks at all production levels due to its economic pay-per-use approach. Also, businesses of various shapes and sizes have started to adopt serverless computing because of its scalability. Furthermore, the technology's use has enhanced IT infrastructures in the Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) sector. This enables a whole new range of workloads that are capable of benefiting from the same capabilities of stateless programmes. It is now managed by a serverless platform, so the burden of data management is removed for developers. This feature helps business app development in a cloud-native way. Thus, aim of this work will be to explore these aspects in detail.

Objectives:

This book will serve as platform for providing key insight and foreseen open challenges towards the Serverless Computing. The book aims to provide best learning resource for researchers, graduates, undergraduates, business people and common readers in the field of Serverless Computing.
