Binbin has been quietly cooking on something very powerful this batch: a small, fast VM with container-like ergonomics that runs everywhere.
I think it has the potential to become a new primitive for deploying software
Users are excited about Smolvm V1.0.0 and its sub-100ms cross-platform VM forking because they view the tech as awesome and plan to adopt it in production over containers.
@koomen @jedwhite That’s pretty sick…
It’s awesome tech. We’re looking into how we’ll move from containers to smolvm in our production deployments since it’s providing everything we get from containers anyway but through VM interface, which opens the door to many cool features that containers don’t natively have like snapshots
@muvaff @ycombinator I would love to see this happen!
