Abstract
Systems and methods are described for enabling cross-environment application of tracing information for code, such as code executed within an on-demand (or “serverless”) code execution system. Various optimizations exist that allow execution of code to proceed faster or more efficiently over time, by collecting tracing information regarding the execution and using that tracing information to guide compilation of the code. These optimizations are typically designed for long-lived environments. However, executions within an on-demand code execution system often occur in short-lived environments, reducing or eliminating any gains from these optimizations. To address this issue, optimizations made in a first environment based on tracing information can be passed to a subsequent environment, enabling those optimizations to persist across short-lived environments.
