Serverless API Platforms with Azure Functions and AWS Lambda: A Comparative Engineering Study

Abstract

Author(s): Fatima Sato, Noah Johnson, Arjun Patel. This study explores serverless api platforms with azure functions and aws lambda: a comparative engineering study with a focus on practical engineering trade-offs in modern cloud-native environments. We present an implementation-driven methodology, reference architectures, and evaluation criteria that teams can adopt in serverless computing programs. Results highlight measurable improvements in reliability, security posture, and end-user performance when the proposed practices are applied.
