- Fly.io launches Sprites.dev, addressing both developer sandboxes and API sandboxes.
- Sprites.dev offers stateful sandbox environments with checkpoint & restore functionality.
- Developer sandboxes provide a safe environment for running coding agents like Claude Code and Codex CLI.
- Sprites.dev includes persistent storage and checkpoints, allowing for rollback to previous states.
- The product features a clever use of Claude Skills to teach users how to interact with Sprites.
- Sprites.dev provides a sandbox API for running untrusted code securely, with client libraries in Go and TypeScript.
- Scale-to-zero billing is a key feature, with costs based on CPU, RAM, and storage usage.
- The product addresses two major problems: secure development environments and sandboxing for untrusted code.
- Sprites.dev is designed for both individual developers and web services needing secure code execution.
