Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic GitHub webhooks are easy, but secure container sandboxing, persistent cloud execution, and background agent orchestration require complex infra.
What it would actually take: Requires microVM or container orchestration (e.g., Firecracker, Docker, or platforms like Modal/Fly.io/E2B) to execute arbitrary untrusted code safely. Hard parts include managing ephemeral filesystem persistence, git state divergence handling, and long-running background agent workflows that can resume securely upon interruption.
