Description

Sprites by Fly.io is a stateful sandbox environment platform designed to run arbitrary code in isolated Linux computers. Each Sprite is a hardware-isolated execution environment that can persist across runs, making it useful for AI agents, uploaded binaries, developer tools, and application workloads. The platform is built around checkpoint and restore, allowing workloads to pause, resume, and keep state instead of rebuilding the environment repeatedly. Sprites provide a fast NVMe filesystem that syncs continuously to durable external object storage. This tiered storage approach gives users compatibility with normal Linux filesystem behavior while only charging for the data they actually use. Developers can start with the Sprites CLI by logging in, creating a Sprite, executing commands, and connecting to the console. The platform also supports REST API access and SDKs for JavaScript, Go, Elixir, and Python. Pricing is usage-based across CPU time, memory time, hot storage, and cold storage. By combining sandbox VMs, persistent filesystems, checkpointing, APIs, network policy, and pay-as-you-go pricing, Sprites gives developers a practical runtime for AI agents and untrusted code execution.

Description

boxd offers developers, engineering teams, and AI-agent applications access to persistent Linux virtual machines. Each virtual machine operates with its own kernel and features such as SSH access, a public HTTPS address, and persistent disk storage, allowing for the execution of software requiring a comprehensive computing environment, including Docker, systemd, long-running agents, and development servers, all within an isolated setup. Users have the ability to fork a live machine along with its memory and disk state, enabling them to experiment with alternative approaches without having to rebuild the entire environment; additionally, idle machines can enter a hibernation mode while preserving their disk state. Management of these machines is facilitated through SSH, a command-line interface, an API, and SDKs in Python and TypeScript. Organizations can easily integrate with platforms like GitHub, Linear, and Slack for enhanced collaboration. boxd can be operated as a managed cloud service located in Frankfurt, or it can be self-hosted on Linux infrastructure that supports KVM, with free deployment options available for configurations up to 16 vCPUs. Practical applications for boxd include cloud development environments, AI-agent test beds, background coding assistants, and staging environments for previews. This versatility makes it an excellent solution for teams looking to optimize their development workflows.
