Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm the creator of WBX Sandbox, a project I've been building to make isolated compute more accessible for developers and AI agents.

The idea started with two questions:

Why should running code safely require managing so much infrastructure?

And why should capable server hardware be considered obsolete just because it's no longer the latest generation?

WBX brings these ideas together.

It provides isolated Firecracker microVMs and WASI workloads that developers and AI agents can use to execute code, test applications, and run automated jobs.

Here's what I've been working on:

Firecracker microVMs for isolated Linux execution
MCP integration so AI agents can work with sandboxes
REST API and Python SDK for developers
Background jobs and batch workflows
Artifacts, logs, and execution receipts
Transparent usage-based compute pricing

There's also a philosophy behind the infrastructure: giving capable server hardware a longer useful life.

Rather than immediately replacing everything with new machines, we're exploring how to combine carefully selected existing hardware with modern isolation technology.

Recently, I used WBX itself to create a website, start an HTTP server, run HTTP tests, and save the result as an artifact. That's exactly the kind of workflow I want developers to be able to automate.

I'd especially love feedback on three things:

What would make a sandbox platform useful for your AI agent workflows?
Would you prefer simple pay-as-you-go pricing or monthly plans with included compute credit?
What examples or integrations would help you get started?
