"Over the past year, we’ve seen a shift in what Deno Deploy customers are building: platforms where users generate code with LLMs, and that code runs immediately without review. That code frequently calls LLMs itself, which means it needs API keys and network access.

This isn’t the traditional “run untrusted plugins” problem. It’s deeper: LLM-generated code, calling external APIs with real credentials, without human review. Sandboxing the compute isn’t enough. You need to control network egress and protect secrets from exfiltration.

Deno Sandbox provides both. And when the code is ready, you can deploy it directly to Deno Deploy without rebuilding."

What happens if we use Claude Pro or Max plans on them ? It’ll always be a different IP connecting and we might get banned from Anthropic as they think we’re different users

Why limit the lifetime on 30 mins ?

We'll increase the lifetime in the next weeks - just some tech internally that needs to be adjusted first.

Like the emdash, whenever I read: "this isn't x it's y" my dumb monkey brain goes "THATS AI" regardless if it's true or not.

I can confirm Ryan is a real human :)

That seems clever.

I was just about to say the same thing. Cool technique.

Looks promising. Any plans for a version that runs locally/self-host able?

Looks like the main innovation here is linking outbound traffic to a host with dynamic variables - could that be added to deno itself?
