Features

  • Create isolated Linux Firecracker microVMs from templates through an HTTP API
  • Run commands and stream output through separately authenticated command sessions
  • Manage sandbox pause, resume, suspension, snapshots, and recovery
  • Self-host Apache-2.0 software with network and credential controls outside agent workspaces

Best for

AI platform teams self-hosting isolated code execution for agent workflowsSecurity engineers inspecting and adapting sandbox network and credential boundariesDevelopers building resumable code-running jobs and persistent agent workspaces

Known limitations

  • The documented local installation requires Linux x86_64, KVM, privileged Docker, and additional host devices; it does not run directly on macOS
  • Apache-2.0 covers the software, not free hosted compute; users deploy, fund, and operate their infrastructure
  • The public 0.8.0 baseline is pre-1.0; minor releases can introduce breaking service API changes
  • The local Kind setup uses development credentials and must remain private rather than being exposed as a production deployment

Alternatives

NVIDIA OpenShell — Policy-controlled agent runtime with a different sandbox and host-support model
E2B — Managed sandbox service and developer SDKs rather than operating the SPACE stack yourself
Daytona — Developer sandbox platform with managed and self-hosted options
