Introduction

What is ComputeSDK?

ComputeSDK is a free and open-source toolkit for running other people’s code in your applications. Think of it as the “AI SDK for compute” - providing a consistent TypeScript interface whether you’re using E2B, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, CodeSandbox, or Blaxel.

Why ComputeSDK?

🔄 Provider-agnostic - Switch between E2B, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, CodeSandbox, Blaxel, and more without code changes
🛡️ Security-first - Isolated sandboxes protect your infrastructure
⚡ Developer experience - Simple, TypeScript-native API
🌍 Production-ready - Used by teams building the next generation of developer tools

Perfect for building:

• Code execution platforms - Run user-submitted code safely
• Educational tools - Interactive coding environments
• Data analysis applications - Process code with full filesystem access
• AI-powered development tools - Let AI agents write and execute code
• Testing & CI/CD systems - Isolated test environments

Features

🚀 Multi-provider support - E2B, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, CodeSandbox, Blaxel, and more
📁 Filesystem operations - Read, write, create directories across providers
⚡ Command execution - Run shell commands directly
🛡️ Type-safe - Full TypeScript support with comprehensive error handling
📦 Modular - Install only the providers you need
🔧 Extensible - Easy to add custom providers
🌐 Web Framework Integration - Built-in request handlers for Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, etc.
🎨 Frontend Integration - Client-side hooks and utilities via @computesdk/ui

Quick Example

import { createCompute } from 'computesdk';
import { e2b } from '@computesdk/e2b';

// Set default provider
const compute = createCompute({ 
  defaultProvider: e2b({ apiKey: process.env.E2B_API_KEY }) 
});

// Create a sandbox
const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();
const instance = sandbox.getInstance();

// Execute code
const result = await sandbox.runCode('print("Hello World!")');
console.log(result.stdout); // "Hello World!"

// Clean up
await compute.sandbox.destroy(sandbox.sandboxId);
