Abstract: In various embodiments, a serverless function agent determines that a client stub function has been invoked with a first set of arguments in a first execution environment. The serverless function agent then performs one or more operations on a media item that is associated with a first argument included in the first set of arguments to generate a second argument included in a second set of arguments. Notably, the first argument has a first data type and the second argument has a second data type. Subsequently, the serverless function agent invokes a function with the second set of arguments in a second execution environment. Advantageously, because the serverless function agent automatically performs operations on the media item, the overall amount of technical know-how and manual effort required to enable the function to successfully execute on a wide range of media items can be reduced.

Notably, the RPC client causes the function to execute when the client stub function is invoked. Advantageously, unlike conventional techniques that require manual generation of strongly typed functions, the function build application automatically customizes the RPC client for the function.
