Sandstorm is not a PaaS and is not intended to be an alternative to Kubernetes. It is not designed for running SaaS services intended to scale to millions of users. It is designed for running personal or internal employee-facing services, where there are anywhere between 1 up to maybe 10,000 users. The kind of scaling you describe simply isn't an issue in this domain.
Moreover, Sandstorm takes a completely different approach to scalability called fine-grained containerization. The problems and solutions are really completely different from a Kubernetes-like approach. Read about it here:

- Taek 10y agoSandstorm is exciting to me for personal reasons. Scalability is not an issue there, because all my apps already need to run on only one computer. Security and encryption is really important to me. Synchronization as well. Very excited about sandstorm because it seems to fix a lot of the gaps in my current flow.
