Abstract

Systems and methods are described for management of a coordinated environment for execution of on-demand code with reduced memory footprint provided. A coordinator receives individual on-demand code execution requests or tasks from coordinated devices. The coordinate can process the on-demand code execution requests to associate at least a subset of the on-demand code execution with one or more groups sharing executable code. The coordinated device can implement the execution of the individual tasks without requiring a separate loading and execution of the on-demand executable code. Accordingly, the coordinated device may be implemented on computing devices having more limited computing resources by reducing the memory footprint required to execute the on-demand task.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for managing access to computing devices comprising:

a first computing device having a processor and a memory, the first computing device corresponding to a coordinated device, wherein the coordinated device transmits requests to execute group-based tasks to a coordinator service;
and,
a coordinator service implemented on a second computing device having a processor and a memory, wherein the coordinator service is configured to:
receive configuration information for a set of group-based tasks, wherein each of the set of group-based tasks corresponds to respective on-demand code, and wherein the set of group-based tasks corresponds to a group of coordinated devices in communication with the coordinator service;
cause instantiation of on-demand code corresponding to at least one of the group-based tasks;
receive a request to execute the at least one group-based task from the coordinated device;
associate, based at least in part on the configuration information, the request to execute the at least one group-based task with the instantiated on-demand code;
cause execution of the instantiated on-demand code;
generate a processing result corresponding to the execution of the instantiated on-demand code;
and
transmit the processing result to the coordinated device.
