Build Your Own Sandbox with SmolVM

Stop paying for sandboxes and run your own with SmolVM.
This post advocates a straightforward idea: instead of continually paying for third-party sandboxes, deploy your own functional sandbox environment. The core selling point is using SmolVM to build an in-house setup, addressing the cost and control issues associated with externally hosted sandboxes.
The original post is brief but clearly targets sandbox infrastructure within code execution or agent workflows, making it highly relevant for those interested in agent development, isolated execution, and cost optimization.
