CodeSandbox Projects

" summary

CodeSandbox Projects is a complete rewrite that brings browser dev environments to real repos by integrating with git and running full dev servers per branch. It uses Firecracker snapshots to serialize VM memory and disk so forks boot in milliseconds (demo shows ~600 ms), stores content in Postgres with 200 million files, and builds off existing branches to avoid fresh installs. The platform serves 25 million sandboxes historically, runs yarn install and dev servers inside snapshots, and mostly works though the beta demo shows a few kinks.
