Why Node.js needs a virtual file system
SMRTR summary
Node.js has lacked filesystem virtualization capabilities, preventing developers from bundling assets into single executables, running tests without disk I/O, or sandboxing file access. A new node:vfs module is being added to Node.js core alongside @platformatic/vfs, a userland implementation available now. The VFS hooks into both the fs module and module resolver, enabling virtual filesystems that work seamlessly with existing code.
