Abstract:-
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

Serverless computing is an innovative cloud computing model that enables

developers to build and deploy applications without managing the underlying
infrastructure. It abstracts server management, allowing developers to focus on
writing code while cloud providers handle server provisioning, scaling, and
maintenance. Serverless computing operates on an event-driven architecture,
where compute resources are dynamically allocated and billed based on actual
usage, eliminating the need for pre-allocated resources and reducing operational
costs.
This paradigm is primarily powered by Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-
as-a-Service (BaaS), enabling organizations to build highly scalable, cost-effective,
and resilient applications. Major cloud providers like AWS Lambda, Azure
Functions, and Google Cloud Functions offer serverless platforms that facilitate
seamless deployment and execution of event-driven applications.
The advantages of serverless computing include automatic scaling, reduced
infrastructure management, faster time-to-market, and cost efficiency. However,
challenges such as cold start latency, vendor lock-in, and security concerns need
to be addressed for optimal implementation.
This seminar explores the architecture, advantages, limitations, and real-world
applications of serverless computing. It provides insights into its growing adoption
in modern software development, particularly in microservices-based
applications, Internet of Things (IoT), and real-time data processing. As
organizations increasingly shift toward cloud-native solutions, serverless
computing is emerging as a key technology for the future of cloud computing.

Introduction:-
what is Serverless computing:-

Serverless computing is an application development and execution model that enables

developers to build and run application code without provisioning or managing servers
or back-end infrastructure.

Serverless computing is a modern cloud computing model that allows developers to build and
deploy applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. In this model, cloud
providers automatically handle server provisioning, scaling, and maintenance, enabling
developers to focus entirely on writing code.

Unlike traditional server-based architectures, where applications run on dedicated or virtualized

servers, serverless computing executes code only when needed, scaling resources dynamically in
response to demand. This pay-as-you-go approach optimizes cost efficiency by charging only for
actual execution time rather than reserving computing capacity in advance.

Serverless computing is primarily powered by Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, such as

AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions, where applications are broken
down into individual functions that execute in response to events. In addition, Backend-as-a-
Service (BaaS) offerings, like Firebase and AWS Amplify, allow developers to integrate
backend services without managing servers.

Serverless computing is a revolutionary shift in cloud computing that eliminates the need for
developers to manage and maintain servers. Unlike traditional architectures, where applications
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

run on dedicated or virtualized servers, serverless computing allows applications to execute in

response to events, such as API calls, database changes, or file uploads. These applications run
on demand, with cloud providers dynamically allocating resources as needed.

Details of Serverless computing:-

 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

Examples of serverless computing:-

1.IoT Data Processing :-

Example:
A network of IoT sensors continuously collects temperature data and sends it to a serverless
function for analysis.

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

1.IoT Devices Collect Data → Sensors measure temperature, motion, or any other information.

2.Data is Sent to the Cloud → The device sends this data to a cloud service like AWS IoT Core
or Google Cloud IoT.

3.A Serverless Function Processes the Data → A function (like AWS Lambda or Google
Cloud Functions) cleans, filters, and analyzes the data.

4.Data is Stored in a Database → The processed data is saved in a database like DynamoDB or
Firebase Firestore.

Notifications & Actions are Triggered → If an issue is detected (e.g., high temperature), an alert is sent
via email, SMS, or an app.
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

2.Serverless Web Application Backend :-

A web application backend is like the brain of a website. It handles user requests, processes
data, and sends responses without the user seeing how it works.

How It Works (Step-by-Step):-

1.User Sends a Request → A person clicks a button or submits a form on a website.

2.API Gateway Receives the Request → Think of this as a receptionist that directs the request to the
right place.

3.Serverless Function Processes the Request → A function (like AWS Lambda) runs only when needed,
handling things like data validation or calculations.

4.Data is Stored in a Database → If needed, the function saves or retrieves data from a cloud database
(like DynamoDB).

5.Response is Sent Back to the User → The processed data is sent back, and the website updates
accordingly.
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

3.chatbots and Virtual Assistants :-

Example:
A user interacts with a chatbot, and the backend logic is handled through serverless functions.

✅ Workflow:

1. User sends a message to a chatbot (e.g., on WhatsApp).

2. The message triggers a Google Cloud Function.
3. The function processes the request and fetches a response.
4. The response is sent back to the user.

Uses:

 Customer support chatbots

 Virtual assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant)
 Automated FAQ responses

4. Image & Video Processing

Example:
A website allows users to upload profile pictures, which are automatically resized and optimized
using serverless computing.

✅ Workflow:
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

1. User uploads an image to cloud storage.

2. AWS Lambda function is triggered to process the image.
3. Processed image is stored in another cloud storage bucket.
4. Notification is sent to the user that their image is ready.

Uses:

 Social media platforms

 E-commerce product images
 Video content moderation

5. Real-time File Processing

Example:
A business receives daily log files, which need to be processed in real-time.

✅ Workflow:

1. A new file is uploaded to cloud storage.

2. A serverless function extracts and processes the data.
3. Data is stored in a database or sent for further analysis.

Uses:

 Log monitoring and alerts

 Automated document conversion (PDF to text)
 Financial report generation.
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

Applications :-
As you may have gleaned from the examples, serverless computing can be
applied in various ways. It drives efficient resource allocation, supports high
bandwidth scalability, and delivers dynamic data updates. Here are the four
primary applications of serverless:

1. Smart devices and IoT

Serverless computing is ideal for IoT as it involves short bursts of interaction,

where real-time data exchange is mission-critical. Also, IoT environments
handle unpredictable volumes of data, which serverless can handle with
ease. Finally, IoT functionalities are entirely event-based – either triggered by
the environment or the IoT device user. Serverless architecture allows you to
connect the IoT hub or gateway to other elements of your connected
landscape, such as smartphones, payment gateways, etc. You will also be
able to accommodate multiple users for a single IoT touchpoint, as in the
case of smart factory equipment.

2. Event-based application scenarios

Applications that rely hugely on user interactions and user-triggered events

are prime candidates for serverless. For instance, an e-commerce website
could gain significantly from a serverless model, fetching product data,
delivery information, payment information, etc., as per current user volumes
and requirements. E-commerce traffic also fluctuates across different days of
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

the week and seasons of the year. A serverless architecture means you can
quickly scale to cater to a demand uptick and increase your profitability
without having those resources lie idle 24/7/365. Similarly, on-demand
learning content providers, webinar hosts, etc., can also gain from
serverless.

3. Automated system administration

Serverless computing has a wide range of internal applications as well.

System administrators responsible for allocating and managing infrastructure
services can switch to serverless and reduce manual efforts significantly. For
example, Deloitte’s Cloud Managed Services product uses serverless
computing to deliver scalable and consistently optimized infrastructure
support to its clients. Systems administrators can focus on more value-
adding aspects of product delivery, such as new features, security, or cost
optimization strategies. The same application can be leveraged by large
enterprises to orchestrate cloud resource provisioning across different
locations and business units.

4. Elastic performance for CDN

Content delivery networks (CDNs) allow enterprises to deliver high-volume

content across distributed locations. CDN processes are extremely resource-
intensive, and user expectations can vary dramatically across peak and lull
periods. Online gaming platforms, OTT platforms, online learning providers,
social media platforms, enterprise-grade learning management systems, and
various other important processes rely on the CDN. Serverless architecture
improves CDN performance, particularly for live broadcasting requirements.
Resources are allocated depending on the number of users who join, the
number of mics connected, the number of visual streams, and the like. A
serverless system can automatically optimize delivery environments based
on concurrent user volume and real-time data streams.

Archietecture of serverless computing:-

Serverless computing is a cloud-native execution model where cloud providers dynamically manage
infrastructure, allowing developers to run functions without provisioning or maintaining servers. The
provided diagram illustrates how serverless computing architecture works, showing how different
components interact to process events and execute functions efficiently.

The diagram is divided into two main sections:

✅ Edge (Event Sources) → Input Side
✅ Master (Execution & Processing) → Backend Processing Side

1. Edge (Event Sources) – The Entry Point

This section is responsible for capturing user requests or events and forwarding them for
processing.

🔹 UI (User Interface)

 The front-end application (web or mobile) where users interact.

 Example: A user clicks a button to fetch data or submit a form.

🔹 API Gateway

 A critical component that acts as a middle layer between the client (user) and serverless
functions.
 It validates requests, ensures security, and directs them to the appropriate service.
 Example: If a user requests to view product details, the API Gateway sends this request to a
function that fetches product data.
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

🔹 Cloud Event Sources ⛅

 Events can come from different cloud sources like databases, IoT devices, file uploads, or third-
party services.
 Example: A new file upload to cloud storage triggers a function to process the file and store
metadata.

2.Event Queue 📩 – Manages Incoming Requests

 The event queue temporarily holds all incoming requests before sending them for execution.
 It ensures that requests are processed in an orderly manner and prevents system overload.
 Example: If 1,000 users request data at the same time, the queue manages them efficiently.

3. Dispatcher 🚀 – Routes Requests to Workers

 The dispatcher picks events from the queue and forwards them to an available worker node
(serverless function) for execution.
 It ensures load balancing by distributing work efficiently.

4.Master & Worker Nodes (Serverless Functions)

This is where the actual serverless computing magic happens.

🔹 Master Node (Task Manager)

 It acts like a manager, assigning tasks (requests) to worker nodes.

 Example: If multiple users request a function execution, the master decides which worker node
should process it.

🔹 Worker Nodes (Serverless Functions) ⚙️

 These are stateless functions that execute a specific piece of code when triggered.
 Each worker node runs independently and scales automatically.
 Workers can scale up and down based on demand.
 Example: During high traffic, more worker nodes activate; during low traffic, fewer are
active.
 SERVERLESS COMPUTING

5.Response Handling 🔄 – Sending Data Back

 After the worker function executes the request, it sends the result back to the user through the
API Gateway.
 Example: If a user requested weather data, the function fetches the latest temperature and
returns it.

6.Monitoring & Security

 Cloud providers track performance, errors, and security logs to ensure smooth operation.
 Example: AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or Google Stackdriver.

📌 Step-by-Step Flow: How This Works in Real Life?

1.User interacts with the UI (clicks a button, sends a request).

2.The API Gateway receives the request and forwards it.
3.The Event Queue holds the request temporarily.
4.The Dispatcher picks up the request and assigns it to an available Worker Node.
5.The Worker (Serverless Function) executes the task.
6.The Result is sent back to the user.
7.Monitoring & Security keeps track of performance and logs.

💡 Why Use This Architecture?

✅ Fully Managed Infrastructure – No need to set up servers manually.

✅ Automatic Scaling – Functions scale up/down based on demand.
✅ Cost-Effective – Pay only for the execution time of functions.
✅ Event-Driven Execution – Runs only when needed, reducing resource waste.
✅ Supports Multiple Use Cases – Web apps, IoT, AI, APIs, etc.
