Comment on Design and Implementation of Sprites

Comments

Any time anybody needs a pen, several are at hand, in exactly the first place they look.
Now, today, under the hood, Sprites are still Fly Machines. But they all run from a standard container.

So its basically a faster VM?

What are some use cases for this that benefit from the faster boot time?

some use cases for this that benefit from the faster boot time

Faster create times. Sprites create (including booting up) in a second or two, per TFA.

One usecase for Sprites I see are disposable dev boxes (like for rapid prototyping with Coding Agents).
