While it looks like at least some of the team are ex-googlers, this isn't the srcfs we know from piper (Google internal tools).

Looks like it's similar in some ways. But they also don't tell too much and even the self-hosting variant is "Talk to us" pricing :/

Google or Meta needs to open source their magic VFSes. Maybe Meta is closest with EdenFS.

Doesn't perforce have a VFS that works on Windows?

I think it was made by Microsoft; https://github.com/microsoft/p4vfs

There is also an identically named VFS, this time from the Perforce company itself [1]
