Could you build this?
Partial While the CLI client and developer UX can be vibe-coded easily, running instant, secure, isolated sandbox environments requires robust backend orchestration.
What it would actually take: The CLI is straightforward Go/Node.js, but the backend requires microVM or container orchestration (e.g., Firecracker, gVisor, or Docker over Nomad/K8s) with fast copy-on-write snapshotting and automated ephemeral networking. Managing multi-tenant isolation, rapid cold-starts (<1s), and resource quotas requires specialized DevOps and Linux systems engineering.

Same idea, different domain
