Expose internal code elements (classes, routines etc) through SFTP, CIFS/SMB or similar established protocol

Imagine the host environment of an IRIS instance being able to access classes, routines and other "code" entities exactly as if they were files in its native filesystem.


The isfs FileSystemProvider achieves something close to this, but only from within VS Code. Serenji for VS Code does a similar thing, leveraging the FTP/FTPS server that Deltanji implements. But native support for this within IRIS could open the way for a huge range of tools (developer, devops and other types) to be able to work seamlessly with the entities that reside within IRIS databases.
