Evaluating the Effectiveness of Google Cloud Platform Against a Web Server

Containers are serverless and wrap an application as a solitary executable programming bundle that groups application code along with all the connected arrangement records, libraries, and conditions expected to run. The popularity of containers is growing over traditional infrastructure because they are inherently efficient. Lacking a guest operating system and being agnostic to the underlying platform, containers promote modern development practices and architecture, enhancing scalability by allowing individual components to be scaled independently. Peak load on servers makes services inaccessible when an unforeseen responsibility hits the server. To improve performance, peak loads on the servers need to balance the user-generated requests. In this work, a comparison between the web servers and serverless containers is carried out. The results show clearly that the serverless containers perform better than the webservers. In our work, the Firefox GUI is successfully hosted in the web server and Google Container. The requests from the clients are monitored, and the metric Response Time is measured.
