Uma comparação entre arquiteturas convencional e serverless utilizando atributos de qualidade em aplicações eHealth

Abstract

The healthcare industry has been increasingly specializing in user demands in recent years. With this, it has been developing within a smart and sustainable health chain. In this context, applications referring to forms of prevention and education, diagnosis, therapy and care provided through digital technology arise, regardless of time and place, called eHealth applications. In parallel, another technology that has stood out over time is cloud computing. This paper aims to carry out a comparative study between a conventional and a serverless architecture, both in the cloud of Amazon Web Services (AWS), in order to investigate the feasibility of a serverless architecture in eHealth applications. For this, types of eHealth applications were identified and requirements were raised for the type of application selected, with that architectures were designed and the applications implemented. Load tests performed in the applications generated data for a collection to be made. With the results obtained it is possible to affirm that the serverless application is more advantageous in relation to the conventional one taking into account the average request response time and scalability. Therefore, this paper presents itself as a contribution in the planning and development of eHealth and serverless applications, fields that have a lot of potential, but still little explored.
