Long-lived task state and streamed messages
CLI deployment with versions and rollback
Python runtime plus Python and TypeScript clients
Namespaces, projects, environments, and branch isolation
Use cases
Deploying background coding agents
Running file-intensive agent workflows
Sharing or forking filesystems across tasks
Managing preview and production agent versions
Embedding deployed agents in applications
Pros
- Purpose-built for filesystem-using agents
- Clear deployment and resource model
- Supports granular isolation and permissions
- Detailed API documentation
Cons
- Public pricing is not displayed
- Agent runtime is Python-focused
- Production use requires infrastructure security review
Limitations
Deployed agents can execute code and access persistent files and secrets. Teams should isolate customers, scope API keys, protect filesystems, test rollbacks, monitor logs, and review every action with external side effects.
