Optimizing Cloud Costs Through Serverless Computing in Google Cloud Platform

Abstract

The research project has discussed serverless computing to be an important aspect that poses be crucial in optimising the cost for Google Cloud Platforms. This seeks to highlight the benefits of serverless computing by observing its advantages such as automatic scaling, cost efficiency, focus on core business logic and event- driven architectures. Moreover, the research project has also predicted the challenges and reduced them ethically such as cold start, debugging and testing and vendor lock-ins. This has been done by allowing best practices such as mentoring and analysing usage, function performance optimization and opting for the right provider and the right plan to set up an efficient cloud architecture. Keywords: Serverless Computing, Google Cloud Platform, Cost Optimization, Cold Start, Scalability, Best Practices.
