In this blog, Derek Tan, Executive Director of Infra & Simulation at WeRide, describes how engineers leverage Alluxio as a hybrid cloud data gateway for applications on-premises to access public cloud storage like AWS S3.

In addition to removing the complexity of manual data synchronization, Alluxio directly serves data to engineers working with the same data in the same office, circumventing transfer costs associated with S3.

In 2020, data on the scale of terabytes is generated daily and we foresee this to grow by a factor of 10 in the following year.

Data transfer via Alluxio is now a critical component of connecting in-office local data with data in the cloud.

Adopting Alluxio as a localized cache layer eliminates redundant requests to S3 while removing the complexity of data synchronization, reduces $5 per issue per engineer in data transfer.
