howdy! two things on the archil front:

1. we're not NFS, we wrote our own protocol to get much better performance

2. we're planning on coming out with native branching this month, which should make these kinds of workloads much easier to build!

Yep, this whole area still feels pretty unsettled. The thing we've become convinced of is that workspace state needs to be a first-class product primitive instead of something tied to one sandbox. That's why we model filesystems separately from tasks and focus on durable mount/sync semantics.

We're currently rolling our own but we've been meaning to experiment with other tools.

I'm using Dagger to checkpoint and all the fun stuff that can come after
