Abstract
Systems and methods are described for implementing debugging snapshots on a serverless computing system. A serverless computing system executes user-submitted code in sandboxed execution environments such as virtual machines or containers, and the user who requests execution of the code does not have direct access to these execution environments for debugging or other purposes. To support debugging of code, the serverless computing system thus implements a debugging snapshot service that generates snapshots of the environment in which the user-submitted code is executing. Snapshots are generated accordance with criteria that may be specified by the user, and may include any or all of the information needed to resume execution of the code from the point at which the snapshot was taken. The service includes user interfaces that enable inspection and comparison of snapshots, as well as setting snapshot generation and retention policies.
