      Create, control, and tear down isolated Firecracker microVMs on demand for AI agents. Sandboxes cold-start in
      under 200ms and run for up to 24 hours, supporting pause/resume/snapshot, metadata, env vars, metrics, log
      streaming, and connect upgrades. The same surface backs the JavaScript and Python SDKs as well as the e2b CLI.

      programmatic SDK definition, cache layers across builds, support custom CPU and RAM, expose namespace/alias
      aliasing, and can be marked public or team-private. Builds expose status and streaming logs via the API and the
      e2b CLI.

      webhook subscription surface at /events/webhooks for push delivery. Webhook deliveries are signed with a SHA-256
      HMAC-style hash of the shared secret concatenated with the raw body, sent in the e2b-signature header alongside
      e2b-webhook-id, e2b-delivery-id, and e2b-signature-version.

description: >-
  E2B (e2b-dev) provides secure, isolated cloud sandboxes for AI agents and AI-generated code, built on a forked
  Firecracker microVM runtime. The platform ships a REST Sandbox API, JavaScript and Python SDKs, a Code Interpreter
  SDK, a Desktop Sandbox for computer-use agents, persistent volumes, a custom template build system, and an e2b CLI.
  The Apache-2.0 licensed core repos — E2B, infra, firecracker, code-interpreter, and desktop — also support self-hosted
  deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, or bare Linux. E2B is LLM-agnostic and used by labs and enterprises building code
  interpreters, deep-research agents, data analysis features, reinforcement-learning environments, and computer-use
  agents.
