Introduction to MicroVMs

MicroVMs are a new way to run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control. They provide a secure environment for running agents and workloads, with features like snapshotting and forking.

Forum Voices

Developers are discussing the benefits and drawbacks of MicroVMs.

For those looking to run agents: the short lifecycle of the typical “sandbox” seems surprisingly limiting to me.

No one talks about new Railway Sandboxes – I think they have one of the best sandbox environments on the market with pay per utilized resources pricing.

Benefits and Drawbacks

MicroVMs offer several benefits, including cost reduction and increased security. However, some developers are skeptical about the pricing and the limitations of the sandbox environment.
