Create. Snapshot. Fork ×N.

Every create restores a baked snapshot — memory and disk are copy-on-write, so forks share state until they diverge.

why pandastack

Built for agents that do real work

Fast cold starts

Snapshot-restore on every create + reflink CoW rootfs. Real KVM microVMs — hypervisor isolation, not containers.

Fork mid-execution

Pause a running VM, fork it 10× from the same memory state. Parallel exploration without re-running setup.

5 first-party templates

base, code-interpreter, agent, browser, postgres-16 — all pre-baked. Build your own from any Dockerfile.
