Hi @mercfh
Is the payload the same for all the VUs?
I’m not sure if you are referring to the other topic, Is JSON.stringify() necessary for payloads via Shared Array? - #5 by immavalls2. In that case, SharedArray would probably not help much. And you cannot open a file in the setup, so you would use init.
Typically we see more the case of [retrieving unique data](Data Parameterization. However, your use case seems different, so if you can confirm the details (is it the same JSON payload for all VUs that you have in a file) I’ll ask internally if there is a better way to load the payload.
Cheers!
