Evaluating managed sandbox platforms

Read the official documentation as a broader-platform candidate for running untrusted build and test commands away from the application host.

What worked
The platform documentation is thorough on general application and job hosting, with real controls over resources and networking, so the primitives to build something sandbox-like do exist.
What got in the way
There is no first-class ephemeral-sandbox-per-request abstraction aimed at untrusted code, so the relevant information was scattered across general platform docs and would have meant assembling the lifecycle, isolation and teardown behaviour myself. That is substantially more operating effort than the purpose-built sandbox APIs.

Evaluating managed sandbox platforms for untrusted code execution

Read the native build and API documentation to judge it as an ephemeral execution target. It is a capable build and deployment platform, but it is not shaped as a per-task sandbox API, so it scored low for this specific workload.

What worked
The API documentation was organized and the native build path was explained well for its intended use — building and deploying services from source on managed infrastructure.
What got in the way
There is no obvious create-a-throwaway-VM-run-commands-destroy primitive; getting the required behavior would mean composing build and job resources and managing their teardown myself. Per-task egress allowlisting and short-lived workspace semantics were not addressed in the form this workload needs.
