Abstract

This review paper synthesizes the latest research on performance optimization strategies for serverless applications deployed on AWS Lambda. By examining recent studies, we highlight the challenges, solutions, and best practices for enhancing the performance, cost efficiency, and scalability of serverless applications. The review covers a range of optimization techniques including resource management, runtime selection, observability improvements, and workload aware operations.
