1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of input items for a transformation into a first binary object;
generating, using at least one processing device, a first signature by applying a function to the plurality of input items;
determining, using the at least one processing device, whether a second binary object having a second signature that matches the first signature is stored in one or more of a local storage and a repository;
obtaining the second binary object from the one or more of the local storage and the repository, avoiding performing the transformation of the plurality of input items into the first binary object, in response to determining that the second binary object having the second signature that matches the first signature is stored in the one or more of the local storage and the repository; and
initiating at least one automated action using the second binary object obtained from the one or more of the local storage and the repository;
wherein the at least one processing device comprises a processor coupled to a memory.
