So forking across multiple nodes in that speed is not possible — we run extremely beefy nodes in order to avoid moving VMs across nodes as much as possible.

We are researching systems of hot moving VMs across VMs but it would have very different performance characteristics.

Yeah, I see. Is it possible to get a corrupted state? Let’s say we had realtime database actively writing at that moment?
It is impossible.

Our tech is not decades old so there is a chance we've missed something but our layer management is atomic so I'd be shocked if you'd be able to corrupt state across forks/snapshots.
