Abstract

At present, numerous innovations and technologies take place continuously. Serverless computing is a paradigm switch from conventional cloud computing. The term ‘serverless’ represents that the cloud developers do not interact with servers directly, whereas they use codes and logic to do so. This feature enhanced and extended the overall performance of the serverless platform. This paper presents a comparative study of both cloud environments from conventional to platform-independent or serverless computing. Apart from this, several key aspects such as definitions benefits, limitations, challenges, real-world applications, and futuristic direction are discussed in a well-organized form.
