What's Good
AGPL-3.0 OSS self-host (coder/coder). Templates provision repeatable remote workspaces with persistent state, IDE/SSH access, and the kind of durable environment an agent can return to instead of rebuilding an ephemeral sandbox every run. Product and hosted options live at coder.com.
The Catch
Vs E2B and Daytona (ephemeral agent sandboxes): Coder is a durable workspace/control plane, not a disposable per-task sandbox. The free path is OSS self-host; Premium and Enterprise are paid product tiers. You still own cluster, identity, persistence, and upgrade operations on the OSS path.
Verdict
AGPL-3.0 durable remote workspaces for people and agents. Self-host is the free path; Premium/Enterprise are paid.
