Serverless Computing With AWS Lambda: Evaluating Suitability and Scalability

Serverless computing has transformed how developers create and deploy applications by removing the need for infrastructure management and allowing for automatic scaling. AWS Lambda, Amazon's Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offering, exemplifies this paradigm by allowing code execution in response to events without server provisioning. This paper evaluates the suitability and scalability of AWS Lambda for various applications, analyzing its architecture, performance metrics, and practical use cases. Through a comprehensive examination, we aim to provide insights into when and how AWS Lambda can be effectively utilized to build scalable and efficient serverless applications.
