What does E2B do?
E2B runs isolated cloud sandboxes that let AI agents execute code, use real-world tools, and work inside full virtual computers. The platform's sandbox pipeline supports deep research, computer use, automations, background jobs, and reinforcement learning workflows, while features like Secure MCPs and AI data analysis & visualization help teams move from prompts to executable actions. It's built around open-source infrastructure and developer-facing APIs, so teams can wire agent behavior into their own products without stitching together a separate execution layer. At scale, E2B says it has powered 1B+ started sandboxes and supports thousands of concurrent sessions, with enterprise deployments spanning 94% of Fortune 100 companies. The enterprise offering adds BYOC + on-prem, role-based access control, isolation, SLA support, and US & EU Regions for data and compute. Customers highlighted on the site include Hugging Face, Manus, Groq, and Lindy, showing use across code tests, virtual computers, and agentic workflows.
Why use E2B?
- Open-source infrastructure lets teams inspect the stack and build on top of it without treating execution as a black box.
- BYOC + on-prem deployment gives security-conscious buyers control over where sandboxes run and where data stays.
- Isolation and enterprise-grade security reduce the risk of untrusted code touching internal systems or credentials.
- The platform is proven at very large scale, with 1B+ started sandboxes and thousands of concurrent sessions.
- Self-hosting and enterprise support make it easier to match internal compliance and operational requirements.
Who is E2B for?
- AI product teams who need sandboxed execution for agent workflows and code generation.
- Platform engineers who want isolated infrastructure for running untrusted LLM-generated code.
- Research teams who need repeatable sandboxes for experiments, training runs, and analysis.
- Enterprise developers who need deployment flexibility, access controls, and support commitments.
- Startup builders who want to ship agent features without building sandbox infrastructure in-house.
What are E2B's key features?
Deep Research Agents
Run research agents in isolated sandboxes for long-running tasks, with up to 24-hour sessions and hundreds of concurrent sandboxes for sustained analysis.
Computer Use Agents
Let agents operate software through computer use workflows inside sandboxes, with support for up to 100 concurrent runs and extra concurrency up to 1,100.
Secure MCPs
Expose tools through secure MCPs for agent access, backed by sandbox isolation and role-based access control to limit what each workflow can reach.
AI data analysis & visualization
Process and visualize data inside sandboxes using OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or Llama integrations, which helps teams build analysis workflows faster.
Coding agents
Spin up coding agents in sandboxes for development tasks, with support for LangChain and LlamaIndex plus customizable CPU and RAM on the Pro plan.
BYOC + On-prem
Deploy with bring-your-own-cloud or self-hosting options, giving teams control over infrastructure while keeping sandbox execution isolated and compliant.
Built to scale
Handle large agent workloads with thousands of concurrent sessions, 1b+ started sandboxes, and enterprise support for custom concurrency needs.
US & EU Regions
Choose between US and EU regions for sandbox execution, which helps teams place workloads closer to users and meet data residency requirements.

What are E2B's use cases?
AI product teams ship agents
AI product teams who need sandboxed execution for agent workflows and code generation use E2B to run coding agents safely, using Isolation to keep untrusted code contained while agents generate, test, and iterate on outputs. They can also pair this with Secure MCPs to connect tools without exposing the core app.
Platform engineers isolate code
Platform engineers who want isolated infrastructure for running untrusted LLM-generated code use E2B to provision secure execution environments, using Secure & battle-tested and Role-based access control to reduce risk and control who can launch or inspect sandboxes. Built to scale helps them support growing agent traffic without rebuilding the platform.
Research teams run repeatable experiments
Research teams who need repeatable sandboxes for experiments, training runs, and analysis use E2B to standardize runs, using Background Agents to keep long-running jobs moving and AI data analysis & visualization to inspect results. US & EU Regions helps them place workloads where they need them.
Startup builders launch agent features
Startup builders who want to ship agent features without building sandbox infrastructure in-house use E2B to move from prototype to production, using Computer Use Agents and Coding agents to deliver agentic workflows quickly. BYOC + On-prem gives them deployment flexibility when customers need tighter infrastructure control.
How does E2B work?
- Connect your first workload by launching a sandbox from the dashboard, then choose the right runtime settings for the job. Use Isolation to keep untrusted code separated from your main systems.
- Attach your agent stack with Secure MCPs and your preferred model tools, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or LangChain. This gives agents controlled access to external actions without broad permissions.
- Run coding agents or Computer Use Agents inside the sandbox to generate, execute, and verify code. Monitor each session as it progresses, and use Background Agents for longer tasks.
- Inspect outputs with AI data analysis & visualization, then tune CPU, RAM, and session length as usage grows. Add Role-based access control and BYOC + On-prem when you need stricter governance.
- Scale into production with Built to scale and US & EU Regions, keeping workloads close to users and teams. Use SLA and Self-hosting options to support ongoing reliability and enterprise deployment needs.

Editor's read
Check the session-length and concurrency ceilings before rollout: Hobby caps sandboxes at 1 hour and 20 concurrent runs, while Pro extends to 24 hours and 100 concurrent runs with extra concurrency up to 1,100. If your agent workload needs longer sessions or higher parallelism, that tier jump matters.
