Could you build this?
No Building a multi-tenant, secure runtime for code-executing agents requires low-level virtualization (e.g., Firecracker microVMs), Linux kernel isolation, memory snapshotting, and secure network sandboxing that AI vibe coding cannot reliably architect.
What it would actually take: Architecture typically relies on bare-metal servers running Linux KVM with Firecracker microVMs or gVisor container runtimes, managed by an orchestration layer written in Rust or Go. The primary technical hurdles are millisecond-latency VM initialization, copy-on-write root filesystems, tenant isolation against zero-day escapes, and WebSocket-based stream observability. Requires deep systems programming, Linux kernel, and virtualization expertise.
