Could you build this?
Partial Creating a control plane that injects multi-tenancy, state isolation, and session adapters into arbitrary single-user web applications requires complex container orchestration, proxying, and sandboxing infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an architectural mesh combining dynamic reverse proxies (like Envoy or Traefik), automated container or WebAssembly sandboxing (e.g., Firecracker microVMs or lightweight Docker instances), and custom browser automation/session hijacking adapters. The hardest part is transparently isolating state, local storage, and database writes of third-party apps without breaking their internal state management. This demands distributed systems engineering, deep understanding of Linux namespaces, and reverse proxy networking.
