Daytona Documentation

Start managing your Sandboxes with Daytona.

Daytona is a secure and elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code.

Daytona provides full composable computers — sandboxes — for AI agents with complete isolation, a dedicated kernel, filesystem, network stack, and allocated vCPU, RAM, and disk.

Sandboxes are the core component of the Daytona platform, spinning up in under 90ms from code to execution and running any code in Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Built on OCI/Docker compatibility, massive parallelization, and unlimited persistence, sandboxes deliver consistent, predictable environments for agent workflows.

Agents and developers interact with sandboxes programmatically using the SDKs, API, and CLI. Operations span sandbox lifecycle management, filesystem operations, process and code execution, runtime configuration, and more.

Our stateful environment snapshots enable persistent agent operations across sessions, making Daytona the ideal foundation for AI agent architectures.

Get started

  1. Create an account → app.daytona.io
  2. Get an API key → app.daytona.io/dashboard/keys

  1. Install the Python SDK

    pip install daytona

  2. Create a sandbox and run code

    # Import the Daytona SDK
from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig

# Define the configuration
config = DaytonaConfig(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") # Replace with your API key

# Initialize the Daytona client
daytona = Daytona(config)

# Create the Sandbox instance
sandbox = daytona.create()

# Run code
response = sandbox.process.code_run('print("Hello World")')
print(response.result)

Next steps

Daytona provides core platform resources for managing sandboxes, environments, and storage. Start with the following:

Sandboxes
Isolated runtime environments you can manage programmatically to run code.
Snapshots
Persistent captures of sandbox state you can use to create sandboxes.
Volumes
Shared file access across sandboxes.
Regions
Geographic locations where sandboxes run.
