Does anyone here have any experience using https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter ?

I build a lot of Docker images using Nix, and while yes it’s generally more pleasant than using Dockerfiles, the 128 layer limit is really annoying and easy to hit when you start building images with Nix. The workaround of grouping store paths makes poor use of storage and bandwidth.
