03 Runtime Each fact carries its source; dots show confidence. Open a row for the evidence.

Isolation & lifecycle

Isolation primitive
Virtual machinehypervisor, or nothing at all
Persistence
Instances can stop at any time; instance CPU/memory/disk are not shared. Durable state via Deno KV or PostgreSQL. Revision image storage is not persistent writable app disk; attachable persistent volumes belong to Sandbox.
Snapshots / forks
No primary-app live-instance snapshot/fork API found in current runtime docs or v2 OpenAPI. Revision rollback/promote is deployment history, not memory/process snapshot. Sandbox snapshots are separate.

Resources & limits

Storage
Deno KV and linked or managed PostgreSQL (Prisma). One attached DB instance per app; preview DB currently shared across all previews. Revision image/assets storage is billed separately. Persistent volumes attach to Sandbox, not primary apps.
Limits & quotas
Free: 1M requests, 20 GiB egress, 10 active CPU-h, 150 GiB-h memory, 10 GiB revisions, 10 apps, 1 concurrent build, 15 builds/h, 1 GiB KV, 3 members; no Sandbox. Pro $20: 5M requests, 200 GiB, 50 CPU-h, 750 GiB-h, 50 GiB revisions, 50 apps, 3 builds, 60 builds/h, 5 GiB KV, 10 members; 3 concurrent Sandboxes/region. Builder $200: 25M requests, 2000 GiB, 500 CPU-h, 7500 GiB-h, 500 GiB revisions, 10000 apps, 20 builds, 250 builds/h, 10 GiB KV, 25 members; 20 concurrent Sandboxes/region.
GPU
No GPU tier or GPU provisioning documented for Deploy apps.

Access

Deploy interface
GitHub push-to-deploy, dashboard console.deno.com, official deno deploy CLI (including create and deploy), REST API v2. No signup or live deployment attempted.
SDK languages
TypeScript/JavaScriptPython

Network & secrets

Egress controls
No primary-app outbound allowlist found on current pricing, runtime docs or v2 API. Runtime runs --allow-all and supports network requests. Database docs say no fixed IP list is available and to allow connections from all IPs. Sandbox networking controls must not be borrowed.
Secrets
Secret/plain environment variables with separate production/development/build contexts; workload OIDC tokens and AWS/Google Cloud connections avoid static cloud credentials.
Bring your own cloud
Contact-gated deployd self-hosting advertised; current public pricing does not establish generally available BYOC, and no public platform core found.

Placement & use

Jurisdiction
2 regions per comparison; CLI exposes us, eu and global deployment selection. Runtime describes simultaneous US/Europe instances; no exact city/datacenter residency guarantee disclosed.

Compute & storage 2/11

Persistent diskStorage that survives restart/stop (not ephemeral-only).
Not supported
Object storageManaged S3-compatible / blob object store the platform PROVIDES to a user's workloads (buckets, presigned URLs). DISTINCT from persistent-disk (block/volume attached to an instance) and from a self-host dependency (source.self_host.deps[]=["object-storage"] is an infra dep to RUN an OSS tool — the opposite direction). SCOPE varies and matters: native first-class (Railway Buckets, Cloudflare R2) vs a sibling SKU / extension (Fly Tigris, Bunny Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces) — record which in the evidence quote / note. Admitted v15.
Not supported
Snapshots / forkingSnapshot or copy-on-write fork of a running instance (filesystem-only counts). Whether the snapshot also restores memory + running processes is recorded separately by memory-snapshot (v19).
Not supported
Live-state (memory) snapshotsA snapshot / checkpoint / pause captures a running instance's MEMORY and PROCESS state and restores it, so running processes continue where they left off instead of a freshly booted instance with the same files. Counts whether user-triggered (snapshot, checkpoint, pause-to-storage) or used to restore pre-initialised state (memory snapshots for fast cold starts). Distinct from snapshots-forks (any snapshot or fork, including filesystem-only; a product passing that key may still fail this one) and from scale-to-zero (an idle-cost property; suspension may or may not keep memory). Actor multiplexing (see scale-to-zero) records its live-state half here — only when the suspended actor's MEMORY/process state is what comes back, not a freshly booted worker with the actor's files.
Not supported
Scale to zeroIdle instances suspend at no / negligible cost. ACTOR MULTIPLEXING (many suspended stateful actors sharing a small pool of pre-warmed workers, woken on request — Agent Substrate, AX, kagent; Rivet's hibernating actors) has NO key of its own (proposal REJECTED v20) — score the idle-cost half HERE and the live-state half under memory-snapshot; the oversubscription ratio / density is a performance characteristic the registry does not key.
Supported
GPU computeGPU-backed instances available.
Not supported
Multi-regionCompute placeable in more than one geographic region.
Supported
Sandbox templates / custom imagesBuild reusable sandbox/VM images from an OCI image or Dockerfile (a base you fork instances from).
Not supported
Cloud-init / ignition configCustomise a VM / microVM / instance at boot via cloud-init (or ignition) user-data — the same boot-metadata interface as AWS/Azure/GCP. Inject packages, users, SSH keys, files, and run-commands declaratively at launch. Distinct from sandbox-templates (a PREBUILT image you fork instances from) — this is PER-LAUNCH declarative customisation, not a baked image.
Not supported
Desktop / computer-use sandboxA virtual desktop (GUI) for LLM computer-use — browser + desktop automation, often via noVNC/VNC.
Not supported
Selectable isolation runtimeThe user chooses the isolation runtime per workload / environment / sandbox from more than one option (e.g. microVM vs gVisor vs plain container, native namespaces vs gVisor, gVisor vs VM). Records the CHOICE; the isolation_primitive facet still records the best-evidenced primary. A platform that switches runtime automatically without a user choice (e.g. gVisor forced for GPU) does not pass on that alone.
Not supported

Networking & delivery 5/9

Automatic HTTPSTLS endpoints provisioned automatically per workload.
Supported
Built-in reverse proxyPlatform routes external traffic to workload services.
Supported
Custom domainsBring-your-own domain via CNAME/DNS.
Supported
Public preview URLsShareable per-deploy / per-branch URLs.
Supported
Direct public IPv6Per-instance stable public IPv6 for raw TCP/UDP (beyond a managed HTTPS proxy) — e.g. mosh / raw sockets.
Not supported
Egress controlsConfigurable OUTBOUND network policy — egress firewall / allowlist / egress proxy on traffic LEAVING a workload. Scoped to OUTBOUND only (v15): private-network REACHABILITY between a user's own services is private-networking, not this. Static-egress-IP belongs here (an outbound concept).
Not supported
Private networkingA platform-internal private network between a user's OWN services — service-to-service connectivity, VPC, service mesh, and/or service discovery, not exposed to the public internet. DISTINCT from egress-controls (OUTBOUND firewall/allowlist), reverse-proxy (PUBLIC inbound ingress), and direct-ipv6 (per-instance PUBLIC addressing). Admitted v15.
Not supported
Email send / receiveSend and/or receive email from the workload.
Not supported
Edge KV storeA globally-replicated key-value store read from WITHIN an edge runtime at the PoP (low-latency, eventually-consistent) — Cloudflare Workers KV, Deno KV, Fastly KV Store, Akamai EdgeKV, Vercel Edge Config. Distinct from first-party-db (a managed DATABASE service you provision and connect to) and from http-query-api (HTTP access to an external store) — edge-kv is colocated with the edge compute and read at the edge.
Supported

Developer access 5/10

Supported
OpenAPI specMachine-readable OpenAPI / Swagger spec published.
Supported
CLIOfficial command-line tool.
Supported
SDKOfficial client library/libraries.
Supported
SSH accessDirect SSH into workloads.
Not supported
Filesystem APIRemote file operations over the API (list/read/write/watch/copy/upload) without SSH.
Not supported
Git deployDeploy from a Git repo / push-to-deploy.
Supported
Private container registryHosted private image registry.
Not supported
E2B-compatible APIDrop-in compatibility with the E2B sandbox API/SDKs — existing E2B client code runs against this product by changing the endpoint/domain + key, with no business-code changes. E2B itself passes as the reference implementation. Distinct from public-api / sdk (the product has its own API — this key says it also speaks another vendor's) and from self-host-oss (a self-hosted E2B-compatible server is scored on both).
Not supported
HTTP data APIQuery / read / write the stored DATA over plain HTTP/REST (or GraphQL) WITHOUT the native protocol driver (Postgres wire / Redis RESP) — agent- and edge-friendly data access via fetch(). The DATA plane; distinct from public-api (a control-plane / management API). Auto-generated-from-schema REST/GraphQL (PostgREST, pg_graphql) is a flavour of this.
Not supported

AI & agents 1/12

Built-in coding agentShips a first-party AI coding agent in the product.
Not supported
Agent skillsInstallable / declarable agent skills or tools.
Supported
AI app builderPrompt-to-app / vibe-coding generation surface.
Not supported
MCP serverExposes a Model Context Protocol server for agents.
Not supported
MCP clientActs as an MCP client / consumes MCP tools.
Not supported
MCP-server hostingRun/host MCP servers as a workload on the platform (distinct from exposing a first-party MCP control server — that is mcp-server).
Not supported
LLM gatewayRoutes LLM API calls through the platform (multi-provider).
Not supported
BYOK for LLMsBring-your-own LLM provider keys.
Not supported
Model inference API (first-party)A FIRST-PARTY hosted LLM/model inference API — the provider serves its OWN catalogue of (usually open-weight) models behind a (typically OpenAI-compatible) endpoint, billed per token. Distinct from llm-gateway (a multi-PROVIDER proxy/router for YOUR calls to external providers like OpenAI/Anthropic) and from byok-llm (bring your own provider keys) — here the platform IS the inference provider, serving its own models.
Not supported
Autonomous QA agentA first-party AUTONOMOUS AI agent that QA-TESTS a running app / implementation — exercising it like a real user (clicking through flows, checking behaviour) and reporting bugs/defects (often back to a coding agent, or before a human review). Distinct from built-in-agent (a code-AUTHORING agent — this one VERIFIES the result, it does not write the feature; a product can ship both), from ai-guided-code-review (organises a diff for a HUMAN to review — not an autonomous tester), and from observability (runtime metrics/logs, not active testing).
Not supported
Credential-injection proxyThe platform holds real secrets OUTSIDE the workload and injects them on the wire (an egress / broker proxy swaps a placeholder or phantom token for the real credential on matching outbound requests), so code running in the sandbox — e.g. an untrusted agent — never sees or can exfiltrate the real key. Distinct from secrets-management (storage + injection INTO the workload as env vars/files — the workload holds the secret) and from egress-controls (outbound allow/deny POLICY; a product can have an allowlist without injecting credentials, and vice versa).
Not supported
Preinstalled coding agentThe platform installs and launches a THIRD-PARTY coding agent (a harnesses.yml entry — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi ...) inside a workspace/sandbox it provisions, with the agent's auth wired in (your own account or API key), so you start an agent session rather than an empty box. Distinct from built-in-agent (a FIRST-PARTY agent the vendor ships) and from harnesses[] (which records that a harness CAN target the product, not that the product runs it for you).
Not supported

Data 1/4

First-party databasePlatform-provided managed database.
Supported
Database branchingCopy-on-write branch of a DATABASE (schema + data) as a dev-lifecycle primitive — branch your data like code, usually instant via a metadata operation. Distinct from snapshots-forks (forks a running compute INSTANCE / VM state) and from preview-environments (a full per-PR environment that may USE a DB branch). For a data product a CoW branch maps HERE, not to snapshots-forks.
Not supported
Vector searchFirst-class storage, indexing, and similarity search of vector embeddings — a native vector type/index or a managed vector DB. The data-layer primitive for RAG / semantic retrieval.
Not supported
Ephemeral instant DB (no-signup)Provision a working, usable instance via a single command / HTTP call with NO account, signup, or card — typically time-boxed (expires unless claimed). A zero-onboarding path an agent can hit directly.
Not supported

Platform & operations 2/6

Scheduled tasksCron / scheduled job primitive.
Supported
Durable workflowsDurable execution / long-running workflow primitive.
Not supported
Preview environmentsA full EPHEMERAL environment spun up per PR / branch — compute + addons + (often) a DB branch — torn down on merge. More than preview-urls (which is just a shareable URL for one deploy).
Partially supported
Built-in observabilityFirst-party metrics / logs / tracing / APM / profiling included in the platform (no third-party stack required to see what a workload is doing).
Supported
Managed CI/CD runnersPlatform-hosted, drop-in CI/CD runner VMs (GitHub Actions / GitLab), typically faster and cheaper than the CI vendor's own hosted runners, billed per runner-minute; isolated + ephemeral per job. Distinct from git-deploy (push-to-deploy of an APP) and scheduled-tasks (cron) — this is managed CI COMPUTE you point your existing pipelines at.
Not supported
Project template marketplaceA marketplace / gallery of prebuilt PROJECT STARTER templates (apps or websites) a user clones or launches a new project from and then customises — the "start from a template" surface of a builder / PaaS. Distinct from sandbox-templates (a COMPUTE base IMAGE you fork runtime INSTANCES from — Dockerfile / OCI), from app-builder (the prompt-to-app GENERATION surface — a product can have both), and from one-click OSS-app catalogues / helm-addon-marketplace (deploy a FINISHED app as-is, not a starter you build on).
Not supported

Organisation & security 4/9

Built-in authPlatform-provided authentication / IAM for workloads.
Not supported
SSO / SAMLEnterprise single sign-on.
Not supported
Secrets managementFirst-class secrets storage / injection.
Supported
TeamsMulti-user team accounts.
Supported
SharingShare a running workload/resource via link (optionally gated).
Supported
BYOCRuns inside the customer's own cloud account.
Partially supported
Deploy into customers' VPCsA SaaS vendor uses the platform to deploy and operate ITS software inside ITS CUSTOMERS' cloud accounts / VPCs (nested or "customer BYOC"), managed from the vendor's control plane. Distinct from byoc (your own workloads in your own cloud account).
Not supported
Workload identityThe platform gives each workload its own verifiable identity (OIDC token, SPIFFE SVID, cloud IAM federation) that it exchanges for short-lived credentials, so no long-lived static secret is stored or injected. Distinct from secrets-management (stores / injects static secrets) and credential-injection-proxy (swaps real secrets in on the wire).
Supported
Self-host / OSS coreOpen-source core that can be self-hosted.
