Daytona
Daytona is open-source, secure, and elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code. Daytona sandboxes spin up in under 90 milliseconds and provide isolated Linux, Windows, and macOS environments where autonomous agents and developer workflows can execute untrusted code, perform file system and Git operations, run language servers, drive virtual desktops, and persist state via snapshots and volumes. The platform exposes a control-plane REST API (sandboxes, snapshots, volumes, organizations, runners, webhooks) and an in-sandbox Toolbox API (file system, Git, LSP, process execution, PTY, computer use, interpreter), with official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and Java, plus a Go CLI and Homebrew/Windows installers.
APIs
Daytona Sandbox API
Create, start, stop, archive, resize, and destroy isolated sandboxes that boot in under 90 milliseconds. The Sandbox API manages the full sandbox lifecycle, exposes labels and m...
Daytona Sandbox Toolbox API
The Toolbox API is the in-sandbox surface for agents. It provides file system operations (list, read, write, move, delete, search, replace, permissions), Git operations (clone, ...
Daytona Snapshots API
Capture, list, restore, share, and destroy sandbox snapshots. Snapshots persist sandbox state — file system, processes, environment — so an agent can resume an interrupted workf...
Daytona Volumes API
Create and manage persistent volumes that can be attached to one or more sandboxes for shared, durable storage across the sandbox lifecycle. Supports listing, fetching, creating...
Daytona Preview API
Expose ports running inside a sandbox to the public internet via Daytona's secure preview proxy. Useful for showing a running web app, a Jupyter notebook, an LSP gateway, or any...
Daytona Webhooks API
Configure webhooks so external systems receive callback notifications when sandbox lifecycle events occur (sandbox created/started/stopped/destroyed, snapshot created, etc.). In...
Daytona Organizations API
Manage organizations, members, roles, invitations, suspensions, and per-organization quotas. The Organizations API is the multi-tenant control surface for Daytona Cloud — every ...
Daytona API Keys API
Create, list, rotate, and revoke organization-scoped API keys used to authenticate requests against the Daytona platform. API keys are bearer tokens passed as Authorization head...
Daytona Users API
Manage user profiles, linked accounts (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), and notification preferences. The Users API governs the human side of Daytona — identity, profile, and persona...
Daytona Admin API
Platform-level administration covering runners (compute pools), regions, Docker registry configuration, object storage, jobs, audit logs, and global config. Used by operators of...
Daytona Health API
Liveness and readiness probes for the Daytona control plane. Returns 200 when the API is healthy and ready to serve traffic. Used by infrastructure monitors, load balancers, and...

Daytona Build and Activate a Snapshot
Register a snapshot from a container image, poll until it builds, and activate it if it lands inactive.
ARAZZODaytona Capture a Sandbox as a Snapshot
Snapshot a live sandbox into a reusable image and wait for the sandbox to return to running.
ARAZZODaytona Fork a Sandbox
Fork an existing sandbox into a new independent copy and wait until the fork is running.
ARAZZODaytona From Container Image to Running Sandbox
Build a snapshot from an image, wait for it to build, then launch and run a sandbox from it.
ARAZZODaytona Provision a Sandbox
Create a sandbox from a snapshot, poll until it reaches the started state, then read its details.
ARAZZODaytona Provision a Volume and Attach It to a New Sandbox
Create a persistent volume, wait until it is ready, then launch a sandbox with the volume mounted.
ARAZZODaytona Restore an Archived Sandbox
Start an archived or stopped sandbox and wait until it is running again.
ARAZZODaytona Stop and Archive a Sandbox
Stop a running sandbox, wait until it is fully stopped, then archive it to cold storage.

FINOPSFeatures
Sandboxes boot in under 90 milliseconds, enabling per-request isolation for agents at scale.
Spin up thousands of concurrent sandboxes for parallel agent runs, evaluation harnesses, and batch code execution.
Persist file system, process, and environment state via snapshots, and share data across sandboxes via volumes.
Programmatically drive Linux, Windows, and macOS GUI desktops via a built-in computer-use API for agent control.
Native support for Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, and Java with built-in package management.
Language Server Protocol bridging and Git operations are first-class agent tools, not bolted-on shell calls.
The Daytona platform is AGPL-3.0 open source and self-hostable on Kubernetes via official Helm charts.
Run the Daytona control plane against your own compute pools for data-residency and cost control.
Humans can drop into any sandbox via SSH, web terminal, VNC, or VS Code Browser for debugging.
Subscribe to sandbox lifecycle events and emit OpenTelemetry traces for observability.
Use Cases
Give every agent its own isolated computer to run, test, and iterate on generated code safely.
