An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a computer-implemented method. In some embodiments, the method includes uploading, by a processor, an object to a source bucket in an object store and creating, by the processor, a lambda bucket in the object store that is symlinked to the source bucket. In some embodiments, the lambda bucket is associated with a transformation function. In some embodiments, the method includes associating, by the processor, a lambda function with the object in the source bucket, receiving, by the processor, a request to download the object from the lambda bucket, detecting, by the processor, that the object is in the source bucket and associated with the lambda function, fetching, by the processor, the object from the source bucket, generating, by the processor, a transformed object by invoking the lambda function and the transformation function on the object, and downloading, by the processor, the transformed object.
