US 2023/0155982 A1 · MECHANISM TO REDUCE SERVERLESS FUNCTION STARTUP LATENCY

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for accessing user resources in a virtual private cloud (VPC) using a serverless function within a network architecture includes instantiating a first warm application container for hosting the serverless function. The first warm application container includes a runtime language library without function code of the serverless function. A virtual machine for hosting a Port Address Translation (PAT) gateway is instantiated. The PAT gateway includes a first interface to the VPC and a second interface to the first warm application container. In response to detecting a trigger event for triggering the serverless function, the function code of the serverless function is mounted within the first warm application container. During execution of the function code from the first warm application container, VPC-addressed network packets associated with the serverless function are routed to the VPC via the second interface and the first interface within the PAT gateway.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for accessing a user virtual private cloud (VPC) using a serverless function within a network-based service infrastructure, the method comprising:

receiving first configuration information configured by a user;
configuring a first serverless function of the user based on the first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used to determine a function code of the first serverless function, and a first trigger event to be used in connection with the first serverless function, wherein the first trigger event is used to trigger the first serverless function.

A device comprising:

a memory that stores instructions;
and
one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
receive first configuration information configured by a user;
configure a first serverless function of the user based on the first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used to determine a user VPC for the first serverless function to access, a function code of the first serverless function, and a first trigger event to be used in connection with the first serverless function, wherein the first trigger event is used to trigger the first serverless function.
