Análise de Modelos de Desenvolvimento: Uma Análise Comparativa entre o Ambiente Server e Serverless na AWS

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of server-based (EC2) and serverless (Lambda) environments on AWS, focusing on Flask-based applications. Through load and stress testing using Apache JMeter and Amazon CloudWatch, metrics such as latency, throughput, and execution time were evaluated. Results indicated that, in several scenarios, serverless applications outperformed server-based applications in terms of scalability and latency. These findings suggest that the serverless model may be a more efficient option for developing applications requiring high scalability and low response times. However, the choice of the ideal model depends on factors such as application nature, workload profile, and specific project requirements. This study contributes to the field of software engineering by providing insights into selecting cloud computing models for different types of applications.
