Lessons Learned from Building Fast Infra for Agents to Access the Internet
summary
Open-source stack aims to give AI agents fast, reliable cloud browsers with sub-150ms boot by moving from Docker containers (10–40s cold starts) to Unikraft unikernels with standby/resume, then to QEMU VMs for GPU passthrough managed by the Home-rolled control plane Highman. Temporal runs browser lifecycles, health checks, standby/resume and long-running workflows (minutes–days), delivering 6x faster cold starts and about 4x faster end-to-end versus early container setups.
