Zerg: Boot a VM instance per request, all in under 250 ms

I always thought ZeroVM was a cool idea in this space. The NaCL runtime makes a lot of sense as a base for servers that can take advantage of existing libraries.

After reading about ZeroVM I was incredibly excited - but then saw the last Git commit was in January 2015 =[

Is it considered "stable" or is it simply abandoned? Are there any successors? Near zero overhead VM acting on data storage is something I'll need for a planned project of my own.

It is abandoned, Rackspace laid them off. NaCl is still stable, although the team is working on Web Assembly now which is a replacement (but less mature). ZeroVM does still work but is a pain to build.
