Persistent Storage And Snapshot Based State Management

via “snapshot-based image management with distributed propagation”

Daytona is a Secure and Elastic Infrastructure for Running AI-Generated Code

Unique: Implements event-driven snapshot lifecycle (snapshot-activated.event.ts, snapshot-events.ts constants) with automatic propagation to regional runners, combined with incremental snapshot support that only stores deltas from parent snapshots rather than full copies

vs others: More efficient than Docker image registries for sandbox templates because snapshots are optimized for rapid cloning and regional distribution; faster than rebuilding from Dockerfile because snapshots capture pre-built state
