Pretty cool. I'm excited about databases using this. Feels like Neon's PostgreSQL storage, but generalized to an FS.

Is this like FUSE with a cache? How does cache invalidation work?

All the best!

Yeah, I like to think of it in a similar vein. We want to empower people to create stateless workflows where they may have previously needed to think about state management. Today, Regatta is an NFS file system where the cache lives on our shared infrastructure. However, when we complete the work on our custom protocol, that will be a FUSE file system which offers additional caching on your instances to enable truly local-like performance.

I am now inspired to build a toy project to learn how it all works!
