Abstract
An exciting new paradigm in cloud application development, server-less computing promises to be adaptable and inexpensive. Serve-less architectures allow developers to concentrate on creating value for businesses by removing the need to maintain the underlying infrastructure. This article provides a thorough framework for developing and deploying server-less architectures in cloud settings, after which it delves into the fundamental ideas, advantages, and disadvantages of serverless computing. Research comparing different cloud providers is still in its early stages and has yet to be extensively investigated. In addition, universally applicable best practices for server-less solutions still need to be improved. Server-less apps' efficiency, scalability, and performance were tested extensively across several cloud platforms. The findings show that server-less architectures can deliver high scalability for various workloads, improve resource usage, and drastically reduce operational overhead. Best practices and future research topics are also presented to maximize the adoption of server-less computing in real-world applications and solve the constraints.

Keywords
