E2B is a platform that provides isolated, on‑demand Linux sandboxes for AI agents to safely execute code, process data, and run tools. It offers SDKs, a CLI, and self‑hosted options to create, pause, and resume sandbox environments.
Use cases
- run code generated by an autonomous AI agent in a secure environment
- execute data‑processing pipelines for LLM‑driven workflows
- test AI tool integrations without exposing host resources
- provide persistent runtime for code‑interpreter agents
- create custom sandbox templates for repeatable AI agent deployments
When to choose
- You need a secure, isolated execution environment for AI agents that can run arbitrary code.
- You want to quickly spin up Linux VMs on demand via an API or SDK.
- Your AI application requires persistent state across multiple agent interactions.
- You prefer a platform‑agnostic solution with SDKs for both Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.
When to avoid
- Your workload does not involve code execution or tool usage by AI agents.
- You require on‑premise hardware without any container or VM abstraction.
- You need fine‑grained control over the underlying hypervisor beyond what E2B provides.
