Building Long-Running Claude-Managed Agents: Why State Matters More Than Compute

An orchestrator/worker architecture on sandboxes that suspend when idle — checkpoint state and stop paying for compute instead of keeping boxes alive.

An orchestrator/worker architecture for Claude-managed agents that run for days: workers checkpoint their state and suspend when idle instead of holding warm compute. The core claim — state matters more than compute — reframes long-running agents as a persistence problem rather than an uptime problem, and the economics follow from there.

Zero-copy TLS ingress with kTLS and splice(2) for sandboxes

Firecracker disk snapshots in O(changed bytes), not O(disk size)We added copy-on-write image layering inside Firecracker's block device, and the disk got faster, not slower. Snapshots pause the VM for tens of milliseconds and cost only what changed, so a running Postgres barely notices them, at any disk size.
