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?

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

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.
