Abstract
This project presents a comprehensive analysis of the deployment strategies involving serverless and non-serverless hosting infrastructure within the context of Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation. The rapid advancements in cloud computing have introduced new paradigms for hosting applications, and the comparison of serverless and non-serverless(traditional) hosting approaches has gained significant attention in recent years. This study aims to evaluate the performance, scalability, cost-efficiency, and resource utilization of both serverless and nonserverless
architectures in the context of deploying SaaS applications with an implementation in the form of an e-commerce site. The research methodology encompasses a series of experiments conducted on real-world scenarios using popular cloud platforms. Performance metrics, such as response time, throughput, and scalability, are carefully measured and analyzed. Additionally, the consumption of computing resources and associated costs are thoroughly assessed to provide a comprehensive view of the two hosting infrastructures. The trade-offs between the two approaches are discussed, and guidelines are provided to aid decision-making processes when selecting the most appropriate hosting infrastructure for specific SaaS applications. The findings indicate that serverless hosting exhibits several advantages in terms of autoscalability, reduced operational complexity, and cost-effectiveness for applications with varying
workloads. On the other hand, non-serverless hosting demonstrates better performance in scenarios with predictable and consistent demands.
