CNB's 'git-clone-yyds' is the core technology of its remote development environment, which uses an innovative implementation based on OverlayFS:
- Technical Principles: Utilizing the co-mount feature of OverlayFS to create only a link to the view of the code repository instead of a full download, enabling on-demand file reads
- Performance AdvantagesEven large code repositories of 100GB or more can be "cloned" in seconds!
- Resource efficiency: Multiple development environments can share the base file tier, dramatically reducing storage footprint.
This technology primarily addresses the pain points of traditional Git cloning in large repository scenarios:
- Eliminates long wait times when developers first engage in a project
- Make code review and branching development start almost instantly
- Significantly reduces the time and resource costs of creating temporary development environments
The efficiency gains of this technology are especially significant for enterprise-level projects with large code bases.
