“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“150ms cold starts for sandboxed code execution. Essential for AI agents that need to run untrusted code safely.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“AI agents running code need sandboxing. E2B's micro-VMs are purpose-built for this use case.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
“Safe code execution for AI agents is critical infrastructure. E2B is building the sandbox layer that every agent needs.”
