About Blaxel
Blaxel is infrastructure for autonomous agents. It provides compute, storage, and networking for agents that run code, preserve state, use tools, and connect to external services.
Blaxel is built for software engineers, technical founders, and platform teams building coding agents, background agents, application-generation systems, code-review agents, and data-analysis agents.

The perpetual sandbox
Blaxel's primary compute primitive is the perpetual sandbox: an isolated microVM that preserves its filesystem, memory, and running processes while on standby.
Sandboxes automatically suspend when idle, incur no active compute cost during standby, and resume in about 25ms. Blaxel supports fleets of 50,000 or more concurrent sandboxes through tier-based quotas.
Read the product overview, persistent agent sandbox guide, technical documentation, or standby controls.

05
Evaluation and alternatives
Teams commonly evaluate Blaxel alongside other sandbox and serverless platforms. The useful criteria are workload fit, persistence, lifecycle controls, storage and networking requirements, framework integration, and economics. Blaxel is designed for stateful, intermittent, CPU-focused agent workloads that need durable execution environments.
06
Security and compliance
Blaxel maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. HIPAA support is available with a signed Business Associate Agreement.
Sandboxes run in isolated microVMs. Networking controls include domain allowlists and denylists, secret injection, and dedicated egress IPs.
Review the compliance portal, networking controls, and system status.
