Hey, author/founder here, thanks for providing that answer, all correct there :) . I would also add that KraftCloud unikernels are built using Unikraft, and that its modularity allow us to tailor/specialize those images to obtain great perf.

Finally, we also had to design and implement a controller from scratch -- nothing out there provided the millisecond semantics and scalability we needed (plus we also did tweaks to network interface creation and a few other things to get the end to end experience to be fast).

That sounds amazing! Very keen to give it a try.

My work had a product that was doing builds and hosting for arbitrary client code, you’re doing all that, plus more. I’ve got massive respect for that, because there were some hard problems to solve, even in our pretty vanilla environment- looks like you guys have done a far better job than we did, plus more!
