Microsandbox does not offer a cloud solution. It is self-hosted, designed to do what E2B does, to make it easier working with microVM-based sandboxes on your local machine whether that is Linux, macOS or Windows (planned) and to seamlessly transition to prod.

Self-hosting is definitely something we are keen to explore as most of the cloud solutions have resource constrains (ie, total active MicroVMs and/or specs per VM) and managing billing gets complicated even with hibernation features. Great project and we'll definitely take it for a spin
