Team using E2B for sandboxed agent execution

Why they built it

Needed full virtual computers for agents to perform human-like end-to-end workflows like data analysis and terminal use, beyond simple code execution

What worked

150ms spin-up speed, half-day integration, per-user scalability, easy self-hosting

What broke or was painful

Docker too slow (10-20s spin-up) and lacked full OS features like app/package installs

The result

Viral launch as top AI platform; generated 50+ page content strategies for $6-7 (valued at thousands); avoided hiring 3-5 infra engineers for months
