Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for enabling any sandboxed user-defined function code to securely access the Internet via a cloud data platform. A remote procedure call is received by a cloud data platform from a user-defined function (UDF) executing within a sandbox process. The UDF includes code related to at least one operation to be performed. The cloud data platform provides an overlay network to establish a secure egress path for UDF external access. The cloud data platform enables the UDF executing in the sandbox process to initiate a network call.
