Session Based Sandbox Lifecycle Management

via “sandbox lifecycle management with auto-cleanup policies”

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

Unique: Implements sandbox state machine with discrete action handlers (sandbox.action.ts base class) for each transition, combined with background cron jobs that evaluate auto-management policies and trigger state changes asynchronously

vs others: More flexible than simple TTL-based cleanup because it supports idle-time detection and multiple cleanup strategies; more reliable than manual cleanup because policies are enforced by the system
