why? because there’s a huge market demand for Sandboxes. no one would be building this if no one would be buying.

I'm not saying sandboxes are not needed, I'm saying VMs/containers already provide the core tech and it's easy to DIY a sandbox. Would love to understand what value E2B offers over VMs?

>>ATechG+62
we offer secure cloud VMs that scale up to 100k concurrent instances or more.

the value we sell with our cloud is scale, while our Sandboxes are a commodity that we have proudly open-sourced

High scalability and VM isolation is what the Cloud (GCP/AWS, that E2B runs on) offers.

>>ATechG+62
making a local sandbox using docker is easy, but making them work at high volume and low latency is hard

>>kommun+Jh
That's right. But they (E2B) rely on the underneath Cloud infra to achieve high scalability. Personally, I'm still not sure about the value they add on top of Cloud hosted VMs. GCP/AWS already offer huge discounts to startups, which should be enough for VM-based sandboxing of agents in the MVP phase.
