Talk "Kubernetes Is Not Your Sandbox"​

🎤 Mislav Ivanda, DevEx Engineer at Daytona

​​​​​​​Outline:

Teams are reaching for Kubernetes to run agent sandboxes, and it's the wrong tool. Kubernetes is built to keep things alive and hold them in a steady state. A sandbox is born, forked, and killed before any of that machinery catches up.

The mismatch compounds because the sandbox keeps gaining requirements without shedding any. In eighteen months it went from a fast code-snippet runner, to a stateful box for long-running agents, to ten thousand ephemeral environments that fork for RL rollouts and die in under a second. It has to be all of those at once, a contradiction set no orchestrator was designed to hold.

The cost shows up the moment you measure it. We ran the same 50-action bug-fix trajectory across five stacks and got a 12x spread: 12.9s on the fastest, 161.5s on the slowest. The gap isn't compute, it's lifecycle overhead per action. We name every stack and explain the mechanism behind each number.
