Abstract
Systems and methods are described for providing rapid access to data sets used by serverless function executions. Rather than pre-loading an entire data set into an environment of a serverless function, which might incur large latencies, the environment is provided with a local access view of the data set, such as in the form of a read-only mount point. As blocks within the data set are requested, a local process can translate the requests into requests for corresponding network objects. The network objects are then retrieved, and the relevant portion of the object is made available to the environment. Network objects may be shared among multiple data sets, so a host device may include a cache enabling an object retrieved for a first environment to also be used to service requests from a second environment.
