6. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configure the one or more processors to:

determine that the result indicates that the code execution system successfully executed the first program code and includes additional data associated with the execution of the first program code; and

based at least on the additional data included in the result, generate the response indicating that the request to execute the proxy API was not successfully processed.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the request to execute the proxy API comprises a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request received from a computing device, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further configuring the one or more processors to:

determine, based at least on the result associated with the requested execution of the first program code, an HTTP status code associated with the proxy API; and

transmit the HTTP status code to the computing device.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a request to execute a proxy API, the request including (i) a proxy API identifier associated with the proxy API and (ii) one or more input parameters associated with the proxy API;

parsing the request and determining, based at least on the proxy API identifier and an API mapping definition associated with the proxy API, a first program code associated with the proxy API and one or more execution parameters associated with the first program code;

transmitting a code execution request to a code execution system over a network to execute the first program code based at least on the one or more execution parameters, wherein the code execution system is configured to, in response to the code execution request, acquire a virtual machine instance usable to execute the first program code, load the first program code onto the virtual machine instance, and execute the first program code on the virtual machine instance, wherein the virtual machine instance is allocated an amount of computing resources for executing the first program code thereon; and

outputting a response based at least on a result associated with the requested execution of the first program code.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving the result from the code execution system, the result indicative of an error encountered during the execution of the first program code;
