Awesome Microsandbox [](https://awesome.re)

September 4, 2026 · View on GitHub

A curated list of SDKs, integrations, tools, and resources for microsandbox — easy, fast, local microVMs for untrusted workloads.

microsandbox runs AI agents, user code, plugins, CI jobs, and dev environments inside hardware-isolated microVMs that boot in under 100 ms, on Linux, macOS, and Windows, from any OCI image.

This is a community-maintained list and is not affiliated with superradcompany. For the official "projects using microsandbox" showcase, see the upstream README.
