Abstract

HR industry was one of the first to use the cloud technology. However, as user engagement becomes more dynamic and real-time interactions grow in demand, traditional server-based infrastructures often face challenges related to scalability, latency, and operational cost. A possible solution is to move to a serverless architecture. This study presents the design and implementation of JobSpace, a full-stack job hiring portal built using a hybrid serverless architecture. The system leverages serverless computing technologies such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and API Gateway, combined with a Node.js and Express backend, and MongoDB for persistent data storage. It was implemented on ec2 instances and also implemented in aws using serverless architecture. Results showed a notable improvement in responsiveness, with average response times below 150ms, and a significant reduction in infrastructure costs during periods of low traffic. The study concludes that a hybrid serverless approach is effective for building scalable, secure, and cost-efficient recruitment platforms and sets the foundation for future as compared IAS.
