Hello, I'm building a replacement for docker containers with a virtual machine with the ergonomics of containers + subsecond start times. I worked in AWS previously in the container space + with firecracker. I realized the container is an unnecessary layer that slowed things down + firecracker was a technology designed for AWS org structure + usecase. So I ended up building a hybrid taking the best of containers with…
My impression from the `.smolmachine` single-binary packaging is that it could have a massive impact on next-gen edge computing and distributed serverless infrastructure.
To me, it feels like it could fulfill WASM's promise of a "portable execution unit that runs instantly anywhere," but with the added benefit of keeping the existing Linux binary ecosystem intact via microVMs.
I'm curious—is this kind of use case aligned with the direction you're aiming for?
