Could you build this?
No Providing high-speed, secure, autoscaling VM infrastructure for CI runners along with proprietary caching and kernel-level optimizations cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Requires low-level virtualization (e.g., Firecracker microVMs or custom QEMU setups on bare metal), custom Linux kernel tuning, distributed network filesystem caches, and deep GitHub Actions API/runner daemon protocol implementations. The hard challenges are multi-tenant sandbox isolation, cold-boot startup times under 500ms, and custom caching layers across multi-gigabyte build artifacts. Demands deep systems, virtualization, and Linux infrastructure engineering skills.
