Abstract
A technology is described for executing work requests. In one example, a worker configured to execute an instance of a program code function of a defined function type that corresponds to an expected work request to execute the program code function may be initialized in computer memory, and the worker may be added to a worker pool. A worker reservation policy may determine how many workers may be held in the worker pool based in part on an anticipated demand for the workers. A work request to execute the program code function may be received, and in response, a work item may be generated for execution by the worker. The worker may be identified in the worker pool, and the worker and the work item may be assigned to a work item manager to enable the work item manager to invoke the worker to execute the work item.
