Daytona is a platform for creating secure, isolated development sandboxes in under a second. It is built for AI agents and developers alike: spin up a sandbox, run code, install dependencies, and tear it down, with each environment fully separated from the others.

Key Features

  • Sandboxes that start in under a second
  • Fully isolated environments for running untrusted code
  • Usage-based billing by the second
  • Built for AI coding agents running in parallel
  • Snapshots to save and restore environment state
  • API and SDKs for programmatic sandbox management

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.
