Case Study: WRITER scales enterprise AI sandboxes and saves 90% with Daytona

Writer saves 90% on sandbox infrastructure costs with Daytona

Writer, an enterprise AI platform, faced a significant challenge scaling its in-house sandbox infrastructure to meet the demands of its complex AI agent workloads. Their custom-built solution on AWS Fargate was straining under the pressure of provisioning over 20,000 daily sandboxes, creating immense operational overhead and diverting engineering focus from core product advancement. They needed a partner to provide secure, isolated, and scalable sandboxes without the maintenance burden.

By implementing Daytona's sandbox infrastructure, Writer gained a runtime that could deploy, isolate, and scale performant sandboxes near-instantly. This solution allowed Writer to provision 300,000 sandboxes in a single month, resulting in a 90% savings on infrastructure costs compared to their in-house build. Most significantly, Daytona reclaimed 10 engineers’ worth of work, allowing that talent to be redirected toward product innovation.
