Whatever Happened to Sandboxfs?

news.ycombinator.com Julio Merino 2025-09-11 18:37:09

Back in 2017–2020, while I was on the Blaze team at Google, I took on a 20% project that turned into a bit of an obsession: sandboxfs. Born out of my work supporting iOS development, it was my attempt to solve a persistent pain point that frustrated both internal teams and external users alike: Bazel’s poor sandboxing performance on macOS. sandboxfs was a user-space file system designed to efficiently create virtual file hierarchies backed by real files—a faster alternative to the “symlink fore

It actually was Michael.” That interaction taught him a less
