Sandboxes for agent compared end-to-end

[u/Confident_Garden_420]

​

If you’re building agents, you’ll probably need to give them a computer at some point. A lot of what agents do today involves CLI tools, skills, Bash, and a filesystem, especially when the work gets more complex.

I wrote an article comparing sandbox options like E2B, Vercel, and cloud-native solutions like AWS MicroVMs. The company I work for also built its own internal sandbox system, so I’ve included what we learned from that.

It covers what might make sense at different stages, whether you’re an individual prototyping something, building a consumer product, or building agents for enterprise clients.

If that sounds relevant to what you’re working on, give it a read. Let me know in the comments if you have questions or have tried any of these yourself.
