How AI is used
Daytona is a secure infrastructure platform designed to run AI-generated code in isolated sandboxes. It provides a control plane that allows developers to manage these environments programmatically via SDKs or an API, which supports the execution of untrusted code in a separated environment.
The platform is intended for software companies developing AI agents, LLM evaluations, and automated coding tools. It supports multiple programming languages through dedicated SDKs and provides tools for state management, including environment snapshots and shared volumes.
Buyers can use Daytona's infrastructure or opt for customer-managed compute in their own cloud or on-premises environment. The system is designed to meet enterprise compliance standards, including SOC 2 and HIPAA.
Buyers should confirm their specific compute needs, as pricing is based on vCPU, memory, and storage usage, and verify if the programmatic nature of the platform aligns with their development workflows.
