A 5-6 ms median only matters if cold starts and p99 stop surprising the operator. Did the microVM move change the tail, or mostly the median?

If you've been following the Docker Sandboxes conversation & want to go deeper, start with Low Level.

Why the microVM boundary is the right tool for agents running unattended with real credentials, & what it looks like when an agent tries to reach something it shouldn't: https://bit.ly/3VHTqUk

Honestly at this point I might expect sandboxing a microVM running Linux to become a feature of the OS, even on mobile. It's the natural environment for agents.

That or it's all cloud all the time.

The edge node picks a compute node with rendezvous hashing, so a function lands on the same node every time. Its MicroVM stays warm and its code stays cached. When one site takes a big share of a region's traffic, we spread it across a slice of nodes.

A warm request to a Netlify Edge Function now spends about 6ms on our side before the response heads back out. It passes through an edge node, a compute node, and a Firecracker MicroVM without leaving our network.

A 5-6ms median is the sort of detail operators notice. The hard part is proving the tail stayed boring. What changed most after the microVM move?

Every Netlify Edge Functions deploy now gets its own Firecracker MicroVM. Deploys with different code or env vars never share one, so a compromised deploy can't reach other customers or the compute layer.

Put a coding agent in a microVM and you usually lose your editor and your harness. Not with a @docker.com Sandbox: it answers as an SSH host, so VS Code, Cursor and @t3.gg's T3Code connect unchanged.
