Abstract: AWS was invented in 2006, it is a cloud service platform which offers compute power, database storage, content delivery and
other functionality to help developers to develop and reinvent. AWS provides different services that allows to build full application or a
website stacks without managing any server. Serverless denotes to an application framework for building application or a website
without servers. The server is managed by cloud provider and takes care of its allocation. This makes application or a website to run
in a stateless compute container.
Index Terms – Serverless Computing, Amazon Web Services
I.INTRODUCTION
In this project we have created a simple serverless website that helps user to request the feedback form for college survey. Serverless is
a process which shows services, practices and strategies which is used to build a website so as to innovate and develop for faster changes.
Serverless computing contains infrastructure management tasks as capacity provisioning and patching. Developers can easily focus on
developing code that serves the customer. serverless services like AWS lambda has a quality of auto scaling and pay as per use billing
model. Serverless infrastructure does not require any servers. Developers can focus on core product and a business logic. Serverless
applications or website doesn’t require you to manage any different servers. We can easily focus only on core product and business logic,
instead of focusing on the responsibilities like operating system (OS) access control, OS patching, provisioning, right-sizing, scaling,
and availability.
II. Objective
Serverless computing offers a number of advantages over traditional cloud-based or server based infrastructure.
Serverless architectures offer high scalability, high flexibility, and quicker time to release, all at a reduced cost. Thus, developers
do not need to worry about purchasing, provisioning, and managing backend servers.
However, serverless computing is not a magic bullet for all application developers.
III.LITERAURE REVIEW
Mubashra Sadaqat, R. Colomo-Palacios, L. Knudsen , Published 2018 , Computer Science studied serverless computing and create a
literature review. This review focuses on introduction of Serverless Computing mainly. Serverless computing is a cloud computing
execution model which enables developers to focus more on business logic rather than on infrastructure or maintenance of servers. This
new paradigm has become a source of attraction for developers and organizations alike as it does not only reduce but simply eliminates
the overhead of scaling, provisioning and infrastructure altogether. Given the novelty of the phenomenon, this paper is meant to study
the phenomenon in a systematic way in order to define the core components of serverless computing, its benefits, challenges and what
lies in the foreseen future of the serverless concept. To this end, authors conducted a multivocal literature review in order to better
comprehend the state-of-art on serverless computing. The study shows that serverless computing is a solution that allows users to create

functions that intercept and operate on data flows in a scalable manner without the need to manage a server, although presents several
challenges.
IV. Feedback Form
Feedback form is to take reviews from the students of an university for the university revaluation. For creating a feedback form you can
open a new HTML code editing page visual studio code. I have created a single file having HTML code. This is the format of our
website. In this we can submit a review to the particular university.

V. On AWS Platform
You can build a serverless website by using different AWS services . Each service is fully
managed and it is not require to manage servers. You have to configure them and upload the code to AWS Lambda, which is also
called as serverless compute service.
1.S3 Storage Service (S3 bucket)
Amazon S3 stands for Simple Storage Service. Amazon S3 stores the data in buckets which have capacity of maximum 100 buckets
and is used to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere such as web sites and mobile apps, corporate applications and data
from IoT sensors and devices.
We create and upload a html file of our feedback form. From that an Object URL is generated from that we can access the website and
submit the review.
2. API Gateway
An API gateway is an API management tool to connect a client and a collection of backend services. An API gateway used to access
the HTTP and HTTPS to the lambda function.
3. AWS Lambda
In this, API gateway triggers the lambda function and the reviews will store into the table named reviews.
4. AWS DynamoDB
The reviews submitted by the students will be stored in the table which we have created in the AWS DynamoDB named as reviews.
VI. Advantages
Server management is not necessary. There is not necessary to manage any server as we have created a serverless website. Pay as per
the use, reduce cost. In AWS it has a quality of pay as per the use that means we just have to pay only for that an AWS service which
we use to create a serverless website.
1. Scalable
Scalability is one of the quality of AWS cloud in which we can easily scale up or scale down the space as per our requirements.
2. Quick updates are possible
By using serverless infrastructure or an architecture it is easy to deploy or update the web application. This property is generally
used by the app developers.
VII. Disadvantages
Testing and debugging become more challenging. In AWS after using the serverless architecture testers face more difficulties to test
and debug their web application on AWS cloud platform.
1. New security concern
For the developers working on a backend face more problems regarding security of a code or any other important things which
is important to secure.
2. Not for long-running processes
In AWS cloud platform the serverless architecture is not made for long term process or we can call as long running processes.
VIII. Conclusion
Building serverless applications on AWS shows that the responsibilities that servers introduce. Using AWS Lambda as our serverless
logic layer used to build faster and focus our development efforts on what differentiates our website. Lambda, AWS provides
additional serverless capabilities so that we can build robust, reliable, secure, and cost-effective website. Understanding the capabilities
and recommendations described in this research paper can help to ensure our success when building serverless website of our own.
