Welcome to the Sandbox
· The Sandbawks Crew
Howdy, partner. If you’ve handed a coding task to an LLM agent lately, you
already know the feeling: it’s a little bit magic and a little bit terrifying.
The agent wants to install packages, run migrations, and rm -rf something it
probably shouldn’t. Exciting! Also: not in production, please.
That tension is exactly why we built Sandbawks.
The problem with letting agents loose
Agents are most useful when they can do things — run code, execute tests, poke at a real environment. But “a real environment” usually means one of two bad options:
- Your laptop or a shared box, where one bad command ruins everybody’s day.
- A managed cloud sandbox, where your code and data take a field trip to someone else’s servers.
For teams handling anything sensitive, neither sits right.
A pen of their own
Sandbawks gives every agent an isolated Kubernetes pod to play in — a sandbox that lives entirely inside your cluster. Agents build, break, and test to their hearts’ content. When they’re done:
- Snapshot the good state.
- Restore it whenever you need a clean start.
- Run it again — reproducibly, as many times as you like.
Nothing crosses your network boundary. The control plane runs in your namespace, sandboxes are walled-off pods, and snapshots persist to storage you own.
Let your agents raise a little hell. Just do it behind a fence.
What’s next
We’re opening early access soon. If you want your agents to run wild safely, join the waitlist and we’ll holler when the pen’s ready. 🐓
