- Erik Bernhardsson The future of sandboxes is more ephemeral: Modal’s median sandbox is about eight seconds long, and Bernhardsson envisions roughly 100-millisecond startup, running a few commands, then stopping and snapshotting it. That could enable branching agents and running every CI test in its own sandbox. The obstacle is overhead from starting and stopping; …

- Matt Garman Agentic workloads push cloud architecture toward fast, potentially disposable, tightly permissioned resources alongside long-lived systems. Agents care about p99.9 latency, three-second database creation, compute sandboxes, gateways and time-boxed permissions rather than …
- The a16z Show AWS is removing its traditional setup friction without forcing startups onto a simplified dead end. As the new flow rolls out, an account can be opened with Gmail, without a credit card, and become usable in under 30 seconds while VPC and …
