    LFI: Practical, Efficient, and Secure Software Sandboxing

  • Thanks for the shout-out -- in case someone wants to check it out, the code for Lightweight Fault Isolation is available here: https://github.com/zyedidia/lfi.

  • redpanda

    Redpanda is a streaming data platform for developers. Kafka API compatible. 10x faster. No ZooKeeper. No JVM!
