Building a Stateful Code Interpreter with Tensorlake Sandboxes

A build-along tutorial: from a toy code interpreter to one that remembers across sessions, suspends, snapshots, and forks — all on the free tier.

The gentlest on-ramp in this list: a build-along tutorial that starts with a toy code interpreter and upgrades it step by step until it remembers state across sessions, suspends, snapshots, and forks. Everything runs on the free tier, so you can follow along without a card.

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.
