Cloud machines for agents, on demand.
A fresh Linux box, SSH-ready in seconds, with your tools or an agent harness preinstalled. Sleeps when idle. Billed by the minute.
Sleep to zero · SSH-ready · Agent templates · No idle spend
A clean machine the moment the idea shows up.
Not every experiment deserves a service, a deploy, or a permanent home. Convoy Sandbox gives you a real cloud machine, fast, then steps out of the way.
Boot in seconds
Pick CPU, memory, image, and template. Reachable as soon as it lands.
Terminal-native
SSH and CLI workflows, not a browser editor cage. Run anything you'd run on a server.
Built for branches
Try a PR, run a migration, reproduce a bug, or hand the box to an agent.
Walk away without leaving the meter running.
Sandboxes are for bursts of work. After the idle timer, the machine sleeps and billing stops. The next prompt, branch, or task wakes it back up.
Sleep, wake, resume
Stop paying the moment work stops. Volumes and selected workspace state survive sleep, so resuming feels like sitting back down at the same machine.
Spec a machine. Pick CPU, memory, template. Boot in seconds.
SSH in, run the agent, build a branch, reproduce a bug.
Idle past the timer? The machine sleeps. Billing pauses.
Wake on the next session. Volumes and state are still there.
Bring your tools. Or load the agent for us.
The sandbox is the product. Agents are one option. Start from a clean Linux box, your own Dockerfile, or a template with the harness already wired up.
Default harness. Boot, connect, work.
Anthropic's CLI agent, ready on first SSH.
Pair-programming agent with your repo.
Bring your own image. We just run it.
Open my PR branch and run the failing test in isolation.
Spinning up sandbox-a4f from your node-agent template…
Branch checked out. Running `pnpm test orders.spec.ts`.
1 failure: race in OrderQueue.flush. Suggesting a fix on a new branch.
Good. Sleep the box when you're done.
For work that needs a machine, not a service.
Convoy Sandbox sits between your laptop and a deployed app: quick enough for experiments, isolated enough for agents, cheap enough to shut down when the work is done.
Ephemeral dev envs
Spin up a project without setting up your laptop first.
Agent runners
A bounded cloud machine with the tools an agent needs.
CI sandboxes
Run heavier checks in a real environment, then destroy it.
PR preview boxes
Open a branch in a machine that can build, test, and inspect.
Billed by the minute. Free while sleeping.
Same resource model as the rest of Convoy Cloud, adapted for bursty machines: per-minute metering, a 10-minute minimum, and no idle spend once the box is asleep.
The practical questions before you trust a sandbox.
Convoy Sandbox is still waitlist-stage. These are the product boundaries we're designing toward.
