Developer creates Sandflare, a fast sandbox platform that spins up AI agent VMs in 300ms using Firecracker microVMs with integrated Postgres.

Sandflare launches Firecracker microVMs for AI agents with ~300ms cold start time, offering a middle ground between Docker's security risks and full VMs' 5-10s startup times

Includes managed Postgres database integration out-of-the-box, addressing the common need for persistent state in AI agent applications

Competes with existing tools like E2B, Modal, and Daytona, differentiated by bundled Postgres support and simpler pricing model

Creator is actively working to optimize cold start time below 100ms, identifying Firecracker API and network setup as current bottlenecks
