Cloud computing platform that executes third-party code in a distributed cloud computing network

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a compute server from a client device, a first request that triggers execution of a first one of a plurality of third-party code pieces, and wherein the first request is directed to a first zone;

executing, by a single process at the compute server, the first one of the plurality of third-party code piece;

generating, as a result of the executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, a second request that triggers execution of a second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, wherein the second request is directed to a second zone;

executing, by the single process, the second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces;

generating a response to the first request based at least in part on the executed first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces and the executed second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces; and

transmitting the generated response to the client device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces further causes a third request to be generated and transmitted to an origin server of the first zone.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the response is performed without transmitting a request to an origin server of the first zone.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the first request triggers execution of the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces by matching the first zone to a predetermined matching pattern that associates the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces to the predetermined matching pattern.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compute server is one of a plurality of compute servers that are each anycasted to a same IP address, and wherein the compute server receives the first request because it is a closest one of the plurality of compute servers to the client device as determined by an anycast implementation.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein each of the plurality of compute servers include the plurality of third-party code pieces.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces is provided by an owner or operator of the first zone.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a compute server from a client device, a first request that triggers execution of a first one of a plurality of third-party code pieces, and wherein the first request is directed to a first zone;

executing, by a single process at the compute server, the first one of the plurality of third-party code piece;

generating, as a result of the executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, a second request that triggers execution of a second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, wherein the second request is directed to a second zone;

executing, by the single process, the second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces;

generating a response to the first request based at least in part on the executed first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces and the executed second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces; and

transmitting the generated response to the client device.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces further causes a third request to be generated and transmitted to an origin server of the first zone.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein generating the response is performed without transmitting a request to an origin server of the first zone.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining the first request triggers execution of the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces by matching the first zone to a predetermined matching pattern that associates the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces to the predetermined matching pattern.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the compute server is one of a plurality of compute servers that are each anycasted to a same IP address, and wherein the compute server receives the first request because it is a closest one of the plurality of compute servers to the client device as determined by an anycast implementation.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein each of the plurality of compute servers include the plurality of third-party code pieces.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces is provided by an owner or operator of the first zone.

15. A compute server, comprising:

a set of one or more processors; and

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by the set of processors, cause the set of compute server to perform the following operations:

receiving, at the compute server from a client device, a first request that triggers execution of a first one of a plurality of third-party code pieces, and wherein the first request is directed to a first zone;

executing, by a single process at the compute server, the first one of the plurality of third-party code piece;

generating, as a result of the executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, a second request that triggers execution of a second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces, wherein the second request is directed to a second zone;

executing, by the single process, the second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces;

generating a response to the first request based at least in part on the executed first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces and the executed second one of the plurality of third-party code pieces; and

transmitting the generated response to the client device.

16. The compute server of claim 15 , wherein executing the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces further causes a third request to be generated and transmitted to an origin server of the first zone.

17. The compute server of claim 15 , wherein generating the response is performed without transmitting a request to an origin server of the first zone.

18. The compute server of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining the first request triggers execution of the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces by matching the first zone to a predetermined matching pattern that associates the first one of the plurality of third-party code pieces to the predetermined matching pattern.

19. The compute server of claim 15 , wherein the compute server is one of a plurality of compute servers that are each anycasted to a same IP address, and wherein the compute server receives the first request because it is a closest one of the plurality of compute servers to the client device as determined by an anycast implementation.
