This sounds similar to how Cloudflare Workers work - using the V8 isolate technology built for Chrome to provide secure isolation of backend processes without the overhead of VMs or even containers.
- jgrahamc 7y agoYes. This is something like Cloudflare Workers (except we built a deep embedding of V8 rather than relying on the browser infrastructure). https://workers.cloudflare.com/ https://workers.cloudflare.com/ Plus we have a distributed KV store to go with the code execution environment.
- richardyoung00 7y agoOur main reason for relying on the full browser is to not be tied to a specific browser engine, and to be able to benefit from browser security updates really easily, but there are obviously some challenges to this approach.
- jgrahamc 7y agoMakes sense. Certainly not dissing your approach!
