●●SolidWizardryShip It
Firecracker microVMs from Docker images with built-in L7 proxy and wake-on-request.
Strengths
- •OCI translation eliminates custom kernel and disk image requirements.
- •Built-in reverse proxy removes need for separate Traefik or Nginx.
- •Sub-500ms cold boot times with automatic IPAM and TAP interface management.
Weaknesses
- •Wake-on-request scaling marked WIP; core feature not yet shipped.
- •Fly.io already provides this as a managed service with more maturity.
