Could you build this?

Partial A dashboard and project-config UI is vibe-codeable, but isolated per-project VMs or containers with reliable toolchain provisioning and secure multi-tenant isolation require real infrastructure work.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a control plane (web/CLI plus API) that provisions Firecracker microVMs, Docker/Podman containers, or cloud VMs from per-project images with snapshots. The hard parts are secure isolation between tenants, fast boot and persistence of state, and networking/credential handling. A solo builder can prototype on one host, but a production service needs infra and security expertise.
