How it works
The platform is designed around speed and scale. Sandboxes start almost instantly, so AI coding agents can work in parallel across many environments, and developers can test untrusted code without risking their own machine. A free tier lets you try it without a card, and paid usage is billed by the second for the compute you actually consume.
Daytona also offers managed infrastructure for teams that run agents in production, with controls for networking, snapshots, and resource limits. It is a practical choice if your workflow needs many short-lived environments rather than one long-lived workspace.
