Abstract

In Serverless workflows, it is common for various functions to share duplicate files or for the output of one function to be the input for the following function. Currently, storing these files in remote storage is common, and transferring a large amount of data over the network can be inefficient and time-consuming. However, the state of the art has not yet optimized this aspect, resulting in time wastage. In this paper, we present an improved data transfer solution that reduced data transfer time by up to 82.55% in our experiment. This improvement is achieved by replacing the time spent on remote network access with local disk access time. To reduce the data transfer route, we implement per-node caching, utilizing disk storage as a local cache space.
