One of the benefits of Layerfiles vs Dockerfiles is that those two examples will do the same thing - we monitor which files are read so you don't have to micromanage copying specific steps.
But I suppose "npm install" is a simplistic example, "npm run setup_our_ci_environment" would be a more likely step for a larger CI pipeline
- Too 6y agoImpressive, and scary. How does it work? Some kind of ptrace wrapping of each command? If this genuinely works reliably, this alone could be a good product. As someone said below, you should promote this feature more specifically.

- ignoramous 6y agoYes, please. If that impressive hypervisor tech can handle production, I see endless possibilities, including mitigating downtimes by teleporting workloads to different cloud vendors and different regions. Easier said than done, of course!
- ayewo 6y agoSeconding the request for more details. Hopefully, you'll put up a quick blog post or even a gist and share the URL with us :)
