[THE STORY]
How Hacker Squad runs on Blaxel
The problem
Workshop attendees arrive with every kind of laptop. Getting a room of mixed Mac, Windows and Linux machines to the same working environment used to take the first 90 minutes of every event.
What changed
Hacker Squad provisions a pre-configured cloud IDE per attendee from one Blaxel image. Attendees open a URL and start building; environments are torn down when the event ends.
At scale
Hundreds of identical sandboxes per event, spun up in seconds and deleted automatically afterwards.
