Abstract
Shared function execution mitigates cold start penalties for execution units. When a serverless platform receives a request, the request is performed when the serverless platform has a warm execution unit for the request. If a warm execution unit is not available or running, the serverless platform may send the request to another serverless platform rather than cold start an execution unit. The cold start is performed when the warm execution unit is not available at other platforms.
