Amazing work Arjun & Anirudh! I know you have been working on this for a while! What has been your biggest lesson learned building such a sophisticated devtool?
Thanks! The biggest lesson for us has been in finding the balance between being opinionated v/s being flexible in the abstractions we build. I think it's easy to go too far in either direction but we're learning as we build about how to make these decisions better.
For example, there were 2 different versions of the sandbox creation APIs that we built in the past - one that optimized for docker image-driven workflows, and another that designed for the sandboxes being immutable, but our current APIs are document-style and mutable, giving additional flexibility to build more use-cases on top like feature testing.
