Abstract

Serverless computing has revolutionized cloud services by abstracting infrastructure management, enabling developers to focus on application logic. This paper examines the security and compliance features of three major serverless platforms: AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. By evaluating authentication mechanisms, data encryption practices, vulnerability management, and compliance certifications, this paper aims to provide a comparative analysis that informs businesses and developers on the most secure and compliant platform for their needs.

Keywords
