Checkpoint/Restore tool

Project mention: When "letting it crash" is not enough | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07

Checkpoint/Restore I feel is a bigger concept than just saving state. At the zeroth level it's a system that can correctly stop and serialize a running process (as criu https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu has shown is a huge pain in the ass to still not be perfect) in a way that can initiated from within the process itself.
The 1st level more-work-but-easier way to do this is to build or use a heavily constrained VM/language you run from within your main application that doesn't allow for most of the hard problems to even exist.
I can't find any ready-made tools to do this that I wouldn't consider an endeavor.
