Daytona Sandboxes with ComputeSDK

Run code in Daytona’s development workspace environments through ComputeSDK’s unified API. Daytona provides full-featured development workspaces — ideal for complex application development, multi-service environments, and persistent coding workspaces.

Setup

npm install computesdk

# .env
COMPUTESDK_API_KEY=your_computesdk_api_key
DAYTONA_API_KEY=your_daytona_api_key

Get your ComputeSDK key at https://console.computesdk.com/register

Quick Start

import { compute } from 'computesdk';
// Auto-detects Daytona from environment variables

const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();

const result = await sandbox.runCode('print("Hello from Daytona!")');
console.log(result.output);

await sandbox.destroy();

Explicit Configuration

For multi-provider setups or when you want to be explicit:

import { compute } from 'computesdk';

compute.setConfig({
  computesdkApiKey: process.env.COMPUTESDK_API_KEY,
  provider: 'daytona',
  daytona: {
    apiKey: process.env.DAYTONA_API_KEY,
  }
});

const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();

Daytona Configuration Options

interface DaytonaConfig {
  apiKey?: string;              // Uses DAYTONA_API_KEY env var if not set
  runtime?: 'node' | 'python'; // Auto-detects from code patterns
  timeout?: number;             // Execution timeout in ms
}

Full API

ComputeSDK provides the same API across all providers: filesystem operations, shell commands, managed servers, overlays, terminals, and client access.
