Question about caching behavior: If I have a task that’s reused between 2 workflows, does caching still work if the inputs are the same? Or is it tied to the workflow?

Caching is determined at the task level. So as long as the task inputs and

cache_version

are the same it should be reused between workflows.

yes @little-cricket-84530 that is the principal reason why we built caching in Flyte to work across workflows and reuse results

woot woot.. awesome

If you are running two instances of a task at the same time, in your example workflow A calls task X with input "foo", and workflow B calls task X with input "foo" you can use

cache_serialize

to ensure only one of them runs and the other waits for it to complete and uses the cached results.

great.. that’s super helpful
