Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to run-time management of a serverless function in a serverless computing environment. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a processor, based on historical run-time invocation data for the serverless function in the serverless computing environment, a first number of expected invocations of the serverless function for a first time period, determining, by the processor, based on the first number of expected invocations of the serverless function for the first time period, a second number of warm-up invocation calls to be made for the first time period, and periodically invoking the second number of instances of an extended version of the serverless function during the first time period, wherein the extended version of the serverless function is configured to load and initialize the serverless function and terminate without executing the serverless function.
