Is the appeal of isolates in this case the cold start time or the isolation? We're working on some open source infrastructure for running sandboxed (gVisor) containers on the fly from web services[1], and one of the use cases people have is serving Jupyter notebooks which seems like it might resemble your use case?

It’s the isolation and sandboxing. So in a sense deno is appealing because you can whitelist functionality.

Say things like custom workflow logic or custom data transformations. They might require an api call.
