I´m also not that deep into this, but @ColeMedin can help for sure :slight_smile:

Replacing the web containers would be a massive effort. We’ve talked about doing it as a team quite a lot (especially a couple months ago) but right now there are so many other awesome features to add it that it’s hard to prioritize this. Especially since if we swap out web containers we lose the ability to work with StackBlitz to bring in most things from bolt.new as a part of our partnership.

Correct me if I’m wrong @ColeMedin / @leex279, but would it be possible to achieve this by using either:

  • CodeSandbox’s SandPack API
  • Assign MicroVM containers (for example from fly.io) to users

…perhaps there are other alternative methods?

thanks, are you willing to share how you built this, your challenges, feasibility and process? I am beginning to do this and happy to share my experience later on as well. Is lovable using both Fly.io and Code sandbox Sandpack or just one of them? Help me understand what does what?

thanks Cole. Could you please share why it’s ‘massive’? What could be complications/timeframe to implement? Would appreciate details.
