Abstract
Functionality is disclosed herein for integrating a program code marketplace and a service provider network. A program code marketplace system is configured to provide a program code marketplace through which developers or other users can list program code for sale. Program code offered through the program code marketplace may have an associated execution environment definition that defines an execution environment for the program code. A request may be received to deploy program code available through the program code marketplace to a service provider network for execution. In response thereto, the execution environment definition may be utilized to create an execution environment in the service provider network. The program code may then be deployed to the execution environment in the service provider network for execution. The program code marketplace may integrate with other systems, such as a payments system, for processing micropayments for program code available through the program code marketplace.
