Every service you rent is a box you could run yourself. heyvm turns a Dockerfile into a bootable Firecracker micro-VM; heyctl gives it autoscaling pools, snapshots, forks, and a URL. An app builder like Lovable, Postgres branching like Neon, dev environments like Daytona, or the whole cloud — same three commands, your hardware.
> Dockerfile → bootable micro-VM.
> Fork, snapshot, scale to zero.
> Your metal, your URL.
Move the managed services you rent — Postgres, agent sandboxes, app hosting — onto your own metal. Build a micro-VM image for each, deploy all three behind one control plane that routes while busy and stops them when idle.
> Postgres, agents, apps — one image each.
> Scale-to-zero pools wake on demand.
> A control plane that routes, meters, pauses.
One API over every backend. Create, snapshot, fork, proxy, share, and ssh into a box the same way whether it’s KVM, libvirt, Apple Virtualization, Hyper-V, WASM, or bubblewrap underneath.
> KVM, libvirt, apple_virt, bubblewrap, hyper-v.
> Snapshot and fork any box in seconds.
> Proxy, share, and ssh into it from anywhere.
