The honest brief
Daytona
Boots an isolated sandbox with its own kernel and filesystem in under 90ms, so agents run untrusted code safely.
- Sub-100ms sandbox start
- Full isolated kernel + FS
- SDKs in many languages
- Open-source, self-host option
- AGPL-3.0 may deter some
- Infra to manage if self-hosted
- Newer entrant
Tensorlake
Sandboxes are stateful microVMs that pause and resume, so a long agent loop survives restarts instead of losing state on ephemeral runners.
- Stateful pause/resume sandboxes
- Isolated microVM code/tool execution
- Serverless workflows scale to zero
- SOC 2 Type 2, encrypted storage
- Free tier to start
- Newer, smaller than general clouds
- Usage-based cost can add up
- Self-host only on the enterprise tier
