Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.

80/100 · ship

150ms cold starts for sandboxed code execution. Essential for AI agents that need to run untrusted code safely.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.

80/100 · ship

AI agents running code need sandboxing. E2B's micro-VMs are purpose-built for this use case.

Futurist
45/100 · skip

Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.

80/100 · ship

Safe code execution for AI agents is critical infrastructure. E2B is building the sandbox layer that every agent needs.
