## Session Description
Running sandboxes at scale can get painful. How do you manage a thousand concurrent sandboxes? We'll cover burst traffic, fast sandbox creation under load, resource exhaustion, shared state with volumes, and per-user data isolation. Then you'll trigger each failure, implement fixes, and see the cost impact in real time. You'll leave with hands-on experience debugging sandbox failures and a set of observability and scaling patterns you can start implementing.
