Ship a product that gives every user a machine

Boxd proposes a one-machine-per-tenant architecture for products that provide customers with persistent agents, workspaces, or app instances, using hardware-isolated virtual machines rather than shared-process sandboxing to prevent cross-tenant access by design. Developers prepare an agent or application harness once on a Linux machine, save it as a versioned snapshot, and have their signup backend create isolated tenant machines from that image, inject tenant-specific secrets through code, restart the service, and return a ready HTTPS URL. Snapshot versions support controlled rollouts by assigning new tenants updated images while allowing the application backend to decide when existing tenants are recreated. To reduce costs, idle machines can suspend while retaining RAM for near-instant resumption or hibernate to disk after inactivity, although hibernation should be disabled for background workloads without network traffic. Custom wildcard domains can place tenant URLs under a company’s brand, while isolation and network-label options determine whether machines can communicate. Boxd supplies the infrastructure, URLs, snapshots, and machine lifecycle capabilities, but customers remain responsible for their application harness, tenant-to-machine naming, secrets management, update policies, deletion flows, pricing, and capacity planning.
