$70k?
how about if we round off one zero? Give us $7000.
That number still seems to be very high.
It being dedicated there are no limits on session lifetime and it'd run 16 those sessions no problem, so the real price should be around ~$70/year for that load.
I find it very hard to believe that a human designed their process around a "Daytona Sandbox" (whatever the fuck that is) at 100x markup over simply renting a VPS (a DO droplet is what, $6/m? $5/m?) and either containerising it or using FreeBSD with jails.
I'm looking at their entire design and thinking that, if I needed to do some stuff like this, I'd either go with a FUSE-based design or (more flexible) perform interceptions using LD_PRELOAD to catch exec, spawn, open, etc.
What sort of human engineer comes up with this sort of approach?
I don't know. There is that "just-bash" thing in typescript which they call "a reimplementation of bash that supports cat and cd".
The problem they solve I think is translating one query language (of find and ripgrep) into one of their existing "db". The approach is hilarious of course.
It's "beyond engineering" :)
