Could you build this?

Partial Creating a web dashboard for devboxes is straightforward, but the low-latency bidirectional filesystem sync, ephemeral VM management, and seamless SSH/port proxying require specialized infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Prized relies on orchestration of fast-boot microVMs or lightweight containers on cloud bare metal, combined with high-performance continuous file sync (similar to Mutagen or rsync over SSH) that handles filesystem events across macOS and Linux with minimal latency. It also requires tunneling daemon software (similar to WireGuard or Tailscale) to mirror remote ports transparently to localhost. Building this requires infrastructure engineers experienced in Linux virtualization, network virtualization, and distributed file synchronization.
