About the project
Self-hosted orchestrator for AI coding agents: runs each agent in its own Firecracker microVM, snapshots it when idle and restores it on the next prompt. Deployed in your own cloud via Terraform and Helm.
Useful for
- Deploy the agent orchestrator in your own GKE or EKS via Terraform and Helm
- Start a Claude Code session against a built OCI image and read logs via CLI
- Set up an automation for pull request review or Slack thread replies

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
