An object worker is instantiated at a compute server of a distributed cloud computing network, where the object worker includes a single instantiation of a piece of code that solely controls reading/writing to an object. An external communication policy is associated with the first object worker. If the external communication policy does not allow the object worker to send communications with the object to an asset that is external to the distributed cloud computing network, the communication is prevented from being sent. If the external communication policy allows the object worker to send communications with the object to the asset that is external to the distributed cloud computing network, the communication is sent from the first object worker to the asset.

State management and storage with policy enforcement in a distributed cloud computing network

A compute server of a distributed cloud computing network receives a request for an object that is to be handled by an object worker, where the object worker includes a single instantiation of a piece of code that solely controls reading/writing to the object. The object worker is instantiated at the compute server. The compute server enforces an access policy to determine whether the request is allowed to be processed by the object worker. If the request is allowed to be processed by the object worker, the object worker processes the request. If the request is not allowed to be processed by the object worker, the request is blocked.

A compute server of a distributed cloud computing network receives a request for an object that is to be handled by an object worker, where the object worker includes a single instantiation of a piece of code that solely controls reading/writing to the object. Policies are accessed that are applicable for processing the object. If the policies do not allow the object worker to be instantiated on the compute server, the object worker will not be instantiated and the request will not be processed at that compute server. If the policies allow the object worker to be instantiated on the compute server, the object worker is instantiated and the request is processed.
