Such experiments must be reproducible and share-able within a team workplace, and manual effort should be minimized for setting up/tearing down said experiments. This paper solves this problem by presenting a cloud-based web service for remote code execution, that is easily extensible to support any number of programming languages and libraries. The service provides a fast, reproducible solution for small software experiments and is amenable to collaboration in a workplace (via sharable permalinks). The service is designed as a distributed system to reliably support a large number of users, and efficiently manage cloud-hosting costs with predictive auto-scaling while minimizing SLA violations.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.01266v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.01266v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"architecture-of-a-flexible-and-cost-effective","repo_url":"https://github.com/kevjin/rce-research","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
