Potential Bottleneck and Measuring Performance of Serverless Computing: A Literature Study

Trending form of cloud computing is Serverless computing, where developer just needs to focus on his code rather than worrying about server management. In serverless computing, application is nothing but collection of one or more functions, written for specific business functionality, which triggers on an event. There are various cloud service providers, i.e. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc. who provide serverless services, on pay as you use and auto scalable solution to execute the application code as a function. The developer just needs to upload the code for execution. The performance of the serverless computing may vary due to dynamic configuration of the solution, technologies and different technology used by the service provider.This paper reviews various past and recent work in the serverless computing to identify possible bottlenecks and the scope of measuring performance of serverless computing. It will also put some light to leverage machine learning in various possible ways to do performance engineering for future research.
