Interesting. Their versioned storage sandbox seems to be what really sets them apart

I don't get it, it looks like they are copying data to the sandbox filesystem why would that impact production data? Because the agent can re-upload the file to s3?

Good question - the filesystem is Fuse-mounted into the sandbox, not copied into it. This way agents can modify data directly simply by interacting with the "local" files.

I know everyones trying to figure out how to make money in this grift economy, but if you're a rational person, you know that it's all a bunch of gambling and tailoring your scope to b2b and ignoring local & open source models and tools, you're more likely going to be part of that permanent undeclass they keep talking about in a self-fullfilling prophecy.

What are you insinuating about this particular Show HN?

Interesting. Literally saw a tweet talking about exactly this last night. Not sure how I feel about it using on your hosted service, while your home page is asking me for analytics data and only the cli and sdk are open source.

Fair enough - the underlying technology is indeed open source (https://github.com/treeverse/lakeFS) - the service provides the hosting and tooling to make it easy for consumption by agents.

Just my two cents: less is more and the first impression matters a lot. I'm saying this because we see a new agent sandbox tool on the front-page almost every day. Most of them have an AI-made landing page design, lots of animations, lots of words. This has become a bad sign for me. I can tell that you put time into it, made a video, and everything, but I guess I'm suffering from some kind of fatigue of having to go through all these tools. So, the less I have to process to get to the meat of exactly what I'm looking at, what sets this apart from others, why and when I would need to use it, then the more likely I am to actually engage with the product.
