Read the full description
Buddy Sandboxes give AI coding agents their own isolated Linux machines to build, run, test, and fix apps without touching your local setup. Each Sandbox has a persistent disk, root access, Docker, SSH, and a public URL. Create one per task, branch, or PR, then let your agents manage it through MCP, CLI, SDK, or API.

Partial A solo builder can wrap existing VM or container providers and expose them through an API and MCP, but a secure, scalable isolated-machine service is substantial infrastructure work.
What it would actually take: A real version needs microVM or VM provisioning (for example Firecracker or cloud VMs), persistent storage, networking with public URLs, and strong isolation so one customer's agent cannot reach another's. Snapshotting, billing, and uptime require infrastructure and security engineering. Existing sandbox platforms can shorten the path, but operating this at scale needs experienced infra engineers.
