About Daytona
Daytona is a cloud sandbox platform that lets developers and AI agents execute untrusted code in isolated, secure environments with sub-90ms sandbox creation. It powers AI agents, code interpreters, and automation workflows by providing safe, ephemeral compute that scales on demand.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Extremely fast sandbox spin-up (under 90ms) ideal for agent latency
- Strong isolation model designed specifically for untrusted AI-generated code
- Generous free trial with $200 in compute credits and no credit card
- Flexible pay-as-you-go pricing scales from prototypes to production
- Solid SDK coverage (Python, TypeScript) with first-class agent framework integrations
Key Features
Sub-90ms Sandbox Creation
Spin up isolated runtime environments in under 90 milliseconds for low-latency agent workflows.
Secure Isolation
Each sandbox runs in a fully isolated environment so untrusted or AI-generated code can execute safely.
Process Execution
Run shell commands and processes with real-time output streaming back to your application.
File System Operations
Read, write, and manage files inside sandboxes with fine-grained permission controls.
Git Integration
Built-in Git support with credential handling for cloning repos and committing changes from inside sandboxes.
LSP Support
Language Server Protocol integration enables intelligent code analysis and editing inside sandboxes.
Environment Snapshots
Persist sandbox state with snapshots so workflows can pause, resume, or fork without losing context.

Best For
AI Agent Code Execution
Give autonomous agents a safe sandbox to run generated code, install packages, and inspect output without risking the host.
Code Interpreter Backends
Power chatbot or LLM code-interpreter features with isolated, fast-starting compute.
Data Analysis Sandboxes
Run ad hoc data analysis scripts on demand with isolated file systems and snapshots for reproducibility.
Automated Evaluations
Execute model-generated solutions against test suites in isolated environments for benchmarks and CI evals.
