Abstract : Serverless computing has revolutionized cloud architecture by transforming how applications are developed and deployed. Unlike traditional methods that require managing servers, serverless computing abstracts this complexity, allowing developers to focus solely on writing and executing code functions. This approach enhances agility and reduces operational overhead significantly.Key elements such as computation, storage, networking, and orchestration are redefined under serverless architecture. Compute tasks are executed in ephemeral containers, scaling automatically based on demand and billed according to usage, which improves cost efficiency. Integration with other cloud services is seamless, enabling rapid development cycles and fostering innovation.However, challenges such as performance variability and potential vendor lock-in exist. Despite these drawbacks, serverless computing continues to gain popularity due to its ability to reduce costs, minimize latency, and improve scalability.Looking forward, serverless computing is expected to evolve further, influencing trends like edge computing and hybrid cloud integration. Researchers and developers are exploring governance frameworks and novel architectures to address current challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities. In summary, serverless computing has fundamentally altered cloud architecture by simplifying infrastructure management and enhancing application development practices. Its impact on scalability, cost efficiency, and innovation underscores its growing importance in modern computing paradigms.

Keywords : Serverless Computing, Cloud Architecture, Cloud-Native Applications, Microservices, Serverless Benefits.
