Transitioning Complex Enterprise Applications to Serverless Architectures: A Hybrid Azure-AWS Model
Keywords:
serverless computing, hybrid cloud, AWS Lambda, Azure FunctionsAbstract
Serverless infrastructures presents some major challenges while migrating from traditional monolithic architectures to complex enterprise applications especially in ensuring scalability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency. The objective of this research is to introduce a hybrid cloud framework that integrates Azure and AWS serverless solutions also including Azure Serverless Functions, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation, to optimize application performance and resource utilization.
