Abstract
The field of serverless computing has had significant growth and recognition in the past decade. This emerging area has garnered attention because to its notable impact on cost reduction, latency reduction, scalability improvement, and elimination of server-side management, among other benefits. Nevertheless, there is still a dearth of comprehensive study that would facilitate developers and academics in gaining a more profound comprehension of the importance of serverless computing in many scenarios. Therefore, it is imperative to provide scholarly study data that has been published within this particular field. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of 275 scholarly articles retrieved from reputable literature sources, with the aim of extracting valuable insights pertaining to serverless computing. Subsequently, the acquired data underwent analysis in order to address many study inquiries pertaining to the contemporary advancements in serverless computing, encompassing its fundamental principles, available platforms, and patterns of utilization, among other relevant aspects. In addition, we analyze the current obstacles confronting serverless computing and explore potential avenues for future research to facilitate its deployment and utilization.
