AI agents need cheaper sandboxes | Alex Jung from Unikraft (Heavybit DevGuild)

In this episode, Alex Jung, cofounder and CPO of Unikraft, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. Alex explains how Unikraft went from an academic unikernel project to a cloud platform for running highly efficient workloads. We talk about why unikernels can make applications faster, cheaper, and more secure, how AI agents are driving demand for sandboxed compute, and why the next wave of software generation may require a much more efficient cloud infrastructure layer.
