What it is
Daytona provides a secure, elastic runtime for running AI-generated code and agent workflows. Its homepage states that sandbox creation takes under 90ms, and the runtime separates and isolates code execution. Programmatic controls cover processes, file-system operations, Git integration, and built-in language-server support. SDK examples or interfaces are shown for Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, and Java. Listed uses include AI evaluations, code interpreter workloads, coding agents, and data analysis. Daytona supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows environments; its CLI documentation supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. Its MCP server documentation lists Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf as supported agents. Network controls include IPv4 and domain allow lists, blocking all outbound traffic, and chained outbound proxies. Organization-scoped secrets are encrypted at rest and handled through opaque placeholders, with plaintext substituted only for allowed HTTPS hosts. Plans include free options and usage-based billing; listed rates cover compute, memory, storage, and Windows, with the first 5 GiB of storage free and $200 in free compute included. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting sales.
