I'm Ivan Burazin, and for the past 15 years, I have been on a mission to streamline software development environments. Today, I'm excited to share the culmination of that journey: Daytona, an open-source Development Environment Manager designed to finally solve the issue of setting up dev environments, whether local or remote.
My journey in cloud development began in 2009 when my cofounder and I we launched the first (or at least one of) commercial Cloud IDEs, Codeanywhere. We developed everything in-house: the IDE, the orchestrator, and more. We garnered interest from over 2.5 million developers, and although it makes sense now, then we were ahead of our time.
Fast forward to today and remote development is commonplace, but the complexity of setting up environments has grown by a magnitude.
This is where Daytona comes in.
- What is Daytona?
Daytona is an open source, single-binary Development Environment Manager that lets you set up your development environment anywhere \u2013 local, remote, cloud \u2013 with a single command: \u2018daytona create.\u2019 It's free, flexible, and ready to use.
- Why Daytona?
*Simplicity*: Set up your dev environment with a single command. The only thing you need to need it to point to a repo and a target and Daytona automagicly does the rest.
*Flexibility*: Works on any machine, with any infrastructure.
*Open Source*: Fully transparent and community-driven.
- Getting Started:
We've made it super easy to try Daytona:
1. Download the single binary.\n2. Run it on your machine \u2013 no signups, no emails, just straight to business.
We're excited to see how Daytona can streamline your development workflow. Try it out, push its limits, and let us know your thoughts, questions, and feedback right here.
GitHub: *https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona\\*
I'll be around to discuss and answer any questions you have. Looking forward to ur feedback regardless.

Cordium can be used for various persistent/ephemeral long/short-lived workloads, including coding for developers with VSCode, Zed, etc. (i.e. self-hosted GitHub Codespaces alternative), AI agent tasks (i.e. FOSS alternative to AI sandbox products such as E2B, Daytona, etc.), CI/CD workloads (e.g. building and publishing Docker images etc.), and more importantly for secretless remote access to infrastructure for devs and automated workloads from within the sandboxes.
The key differentiator here for Cordium, in comparison with other dev environments and sandbox platforms, is that Cordium automatically provides identity-based, secretless secure access to resources or infrastructure (e.g. APIs, SSH, databases, k8s, etc.) without having to inject credentials (e.g. API keys/access tokens, SSH private keys, database passwords, etc.) into the sandbox where the upstream credential is held by the identity-aware proxy of the Octelium-protected resource outside the reach of the sandbox. The sandbox permissions and access to resources is determined via identity-based, L7-aware, pre-request access control through CEL/OPA policy-as-code rather than injected credentials inside the sandbox. In other words, Cordium isn't just meant as a runtime for isolated execution where filesystem, CPU, memory, storage, etc... are isolated and controlled, but more importantly meant for identity-based secure access to infrastructure and resources.
In short, Cordium is basically a genereal-purpose sandbox platform + a ZTNA/remote-access-VPN baked-in with unified identity management, L7-aware access control and visibility.
Cordium is a purely FOSS project under Apache 2.0 that's meant for self-hosting and there are no plans for a pro/SaaS/cloud/commercial version. It was developed initially as a remote development environment for Octelium users to access their resources via web-based terminals through reproducible remote sandboxes instead of having to install and run the Octelium CLI connectors on their own machines but over time it grew into a general-purpose sandbox platform that can be used for all kinds of persistent/ephemeral and short/long-lived tasks by developers or automated workloads. I also want to clarify that Cordium, while opensourced a few days ago, is not a new project, the development of the project dates back to 2022 (see the older in https://github.com/octelium/spaces) and it is already being used by a few organizations that use Octelium since last year. In other words, this is not a toy project and it's meant to be used in production even though it's not quite ready to be labeled v1.0 yet.

Cordium can be used for various persistent/ephemeral long/short-lived workloads, including coding for developers with VSCode, Zed, etc. (i.e. self-hosted GitHub Codespaces alternative), AI agent tasks (i.e. FOSS alternative to AI sandbox products such as E2B, Daytona, etc.), CI/CD workloads (e.g. building and publishing Docker images etc.), and more importantly for secretless remote access to infrastructure for devs and automated workloads from within the sandboxes.
The key differentiator here for Cordium, in comparison with other dev environments and sandbox platforms, is that Cordium automatically provides identity-based, secretless secure access to resources or infrastructure (e.g. APIs, SSH, databases, k8s, etc.) without having to inject credentials (e.g. API keys/access tokens, SSH private keys, database passwords, etc.) into the sandbox where the upstream credential is held by the identity-aware proxy of the Octelium-protected resource outside the reach of the sandbox. The sandbox permissions and access to resources is determined via identity-based, L7-aware, pre-request access control through CEL/OPA policy-as-code rather than injected credentials inside the sandbox. In other words, Cordium isn't just meant as a runtime for isolated execution where filesystem, CPU, memory, storage, etc... are isolated and controlled, but more importantly meant for identity-based secure access to infrastructure and resources.
In short, Cordium is basically a genereal-purpose sandbox platform + a ZTNA/remote-access-VPN baked-in with unified identity management, L7-aware access control and visibility.

HN, We're Gus and Carlos from Runtime (https://runtm.com). We're building infra that lets your whole team (including non-engineers) ship with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents without engineering having to handhold every session.
After Mentum (YC S21) was acquired, I personally shipped 4 full-stack products in 3 months using coding agents. When I tried to roll the same workflow out to the rest of the team, it fell apart: Most PRs were unmergeable slop - Every repo required an engineer doing one-off local setup. - Skills and context lived in one person's head. - There was no safe way for a PM to touch a real codebase without risking a bad deploy or a secrets leak.
Carlos comes from building agentic reconciliation systems at Modern Treasury and had a similar experience when letting his support team use devin.
We ended up building internal background agent infra but it quickly became a nightmare to mantain and develop. We built Runtime so you don't have to do this kind of thing.
Runtime work like as follows. Engineering defines the context once: system instructions, skills, and scoped integrations installable via CLI, mise, npm, or any package manager. Then Runtime snapshots your full running environment including multi-service Docker Compose setups, Kafka, Redis, seeded DBs, so it comes up in milliseconds with every server already running.
We orchestrate across sandbox providers like E2B, Daytona, EC2 or self-hosted K8s depending on your setup. Secrets are injected through our managed proxy so they never touch the agent directly, and guardrails run at the infrastructure level: command allow/deny lists, network egress controls, and RBAC scoped per human and per agent. Every session also gets a shareable preview URL, so internal builds go from sandbox to the rest of the team without needing production access.
Runtime works with whichever agent your team already uses: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Devin. You can trigger sandboxes from our web app, CLI, Slack, Linear, GitHub, or API.
One of our customers built an on-call inspector that wires PagerDuty, Sentry, and their repo so when an alert fires, the agent finds the cause and opens a PR with a unit test before anyone gets paged. Another runs a finance agent in a private Slack channel pulling from Stripe, NetSuite, and Snowflake to run reconciliations in minutes with source rows attached.
A fintech unicorn and several YC scaleups are live on Runtime, including a few teams who had built similar infrastructure internally and handed it to us to take over.
The core is open source at https://github.com/runtm-ai/runtm. Hosted version is live at https://app.runtm.com, free tier included. We're charging a flat platform fee plus compute, no token markup.
