Optimizing Scalability and Performance in AWS Lambda: An In Depth Analysis of Best Practices, Case Studies, and Challenges in Serverless Architectures

Abstract

In this paper, scalability and performance of AWS Lambda are discussed with emphasis on serverless technologies. It delves into best practices for efficient resource management, cost optimization, and code execution. Through detailed case studies, it provides real world examples and potential issues like cold start latency and restrictions in the amount of time versus CPU cores available for execution. It also divulges an analysis of solutions to some of the evident problems and enables developers and organizations intending to use AWS Lambda for developing versatile and high-performance applications. Altogether, this research provides directions for improving the serverless infrastructure [1].
