Søren Bramer Schmidt - Unikernels at Scale: 1 Million Databases, 1 Server

Today, we accept the overhead of traditional OS-based deployments without questioning if there’s a better way. But what if we could run applications more efficiently, reducing resource consumption while increasing isolation and security? Unikernels - where the application and OS are compiled into a single, minimal binary - promise exactly that. Though long considered an academic curiosity, they’re now powering real-world workloads, including Prisma’s latest managed Postgres deployment, which runs over one million fully isolated databases on a single server. This talk will dive into the unikernel architecture, its advantages, and trade-offs compared to traditional OS-based deployment models. We’ll share real-world insights from running unikernels at scale, covering security, performance, operational challenges, and what it takes to adopt them effectively. Expect a technical deep dive into how unikernels compare to VMs and containers, their impact on modern cloud infrastructure, and how they could shape the future of high-scale deployments. Key Takeaways: 1. Understand what unikernels are and how they differ from traditional VMs and containers. 2. Learn about the security, performance, and deployment advantages of unikernels in cloud environments. 3. Explore the challenges and trade-offs of unikernel adoption in production systems. 4. Gain insights from Prisma’s real-world unikernel deployment and what it takes to run unikernels at scale. Connect with us!
