What is Daytona?
Daytona is secure, elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code. A sandbox is a fully isolated computer with its own kernel, filesystem, and network, and allocated vCPU, RAM, and disk. Sandboxes are created in under 90ms from code to execution, with support for large-scale parallel execution. Agents and developers work with sandboxes through the SDK, API, and CLI, and snapshots preserve state between sessions.
