Vercel has announced the general availability of Vercel Sandbox, an execution layer designed specifically for AI agents. But beyond the AI agent hype, there’s an interesting question: can it be useful for running code safely in different languages like PHP, Node, or Go?

What is Vercel Sandbox?

Vercel Sandbox provides on-demand Linux microVMs. Each sandbox is isolated, with its own filesystem, network, and process space. You get sudo access, package managers, and the ability to run the same commands you’d run on a Linux machine.

A few days ago I came across an article that literally left me with my mouth open. It’s about TinyEMU-Go: a RISC-V emulator written entirely in Go, ported from C using Claude. And the best part: you can run a complete Linux with a single command.

The Command Line That Gave Me Envy

go run github.com/jtolio/tinyemu-go/temubox/example@2c8151233c2d

And boom, you have a complete Linux running. No special permissions, no containers, no weird dependencies. A pure static Go binary.

Options Pattern in Golang

Option pattern is a functional programming pattern that is used to provide optional arguments to a function that can be used to modify its behavior.

How to create a simple event streaming in Laravel?

Event streams provide you with a way to send events to the client without having to reload the page. This is useful for things like updating the user interface in real-time changes are made to the database.

Moments of change, moments of evolution, a constant in my life, with the 25th anniversary of the creation of the web I’ve entered “review” mode and I’m highly perplexed.

I’ve been doing things for the same time (25 years), enjoying, always with the same concept and particularity: Enjoyment and result, but it hasn’t been relevant for a long time (which is also not very relevant).

I’ve realized that the usual thing is to do things within your comfort zone, and I’ve never had one or knew one could exist, hence I’ve touched and done unusual things or perhaps “untimely”, when a certain technology could be in fashion “Buzz” I hadn’t been using it for a long time because it didn’t give me what something else gave me,…

At Sevilla Developers Conf 2 I commented on some examples of who uses Go and for what.

Among others, these seemed interesting to me, and I’ll create a somewhat larger list that will serve us to see real use cases and success stories when choosing Go for certain solutions.

From Cayley we can make queries via REST in two “languages”: MQL and a reduced version of Gremlin

With the following example, we can obtain the most common skills of people who belong to an industry, within the “Edu” sector

I’ve always liked to see and try different technologies, and within these, of course, programming languages.

An example of this was the intensive use I gave at the time, at Arrakis, to Rebol, an interpreted cross-platform language, with everything you could need to perform great data cleaning scripts, in a “strange” syntax, but beautiful in its approach.

The case of Go was a bit different, because just like what happened to me with Angular, at the time (several years ago) I tried to give it a chance, but all the information and examples I found were “very small” blocks of code, I didn’t see in that (at a bird’s eye view) that it was finished, it seemed like a more academic/conceptual language than something for real use.

As a proof of concept, I’m making a small API in Golang that, on an Apache with mod_proxy, serves certain content to a WordPress site.
