Have been having a fiddle getting setup with this - build is fast, output is tiny, am considering introducing to my company but nervous of it being young. What have folks’ experience being introducing new tech at their jobs?
If it works fantastically, no one will care. If there is even a single hiccup, then its "your" solution and squint, eh, not so sure.
The only way to introduce new tech to a reasonably sized group is to first get group by in. Do everything you can to make sure it's not your idea, but something the group agrees on.

This site is extremely sparse on information. I know what a unikernel is but it's not clear how it reduces cloud spending other than perhaps a small reduction in overhead. I'd like to know what kind of work would be needed to make a traditional app run under this unikernel. Assuming it is a genuine unikernel and this isn't marketing.
I love the unikernel approach and I have been investing in researching it.
I have not heard of this company before but that doesnt mean much.
I have fallen in love with Mirage OS and the world around it.
I am curious what the integration is between Kubernetes and the unikernel applications?
Admittedly I am not all familiar with K8s but I have not read about something like that before.
I am interested in learning more.

Is it closer to the firecracker VM or a unikernel in Go or Rust?
It sounds closer to the former (as that's KVM) https://github.com/unikraft/unikraft
What isn't clear is how it inlines kernelspace, whether that surface area is optimized down etc
