Abstract

The Internet is responsible for accelerating growth in several fields such as digital media, healthcare, the military. Furthermore, the Internet was founded on the principle of allowing clients to communicating with servers. However, serverless computing is one such field that tries to break free from this paradigm. Event-driven compute services allow users to build more agile applications using capacity provisioning and a pay-for-value billing model. This paper provides a formal account of the research contributions in the field of Serverless computing.
