ABSTRACT

Lessons learned from building fast, open source infrastructure for web agents

Catherine Jue | kernel.sh
Kernel builds fast, open source infrastructure that lets AI agents access the internet. To hit our sub‑150ms browser boot times, we evolved our stack from containers to unikernels to microVMs. This talk walks through what we learned with each iteration, and what it actually takes to make serverless browsers not just fast, but reliable at scale with long-running “entity workflows” in Temporal.
