Deploy sandboxes on Northflank cloud

Deploy sandboxes with microVM isolation on Northflank's managed cloud. Boot times under 1 second with VM-level isolation for running untrusted code.

Create a project

Sandboxes run in projects deployed to Northflank's managed cloud. MicroVM isolation is enabled by default.

Click here to create a project.

Navigate to the Northflank dashboard and click Create Project
Enter a project name
Choose Northflank Cloud as the deployment target
Select a region
Click Create project

Your sandboxes will run in the selected region on Northflank's managed infrastructure with microVM isolation enabled by default.

Learn more about creating projects in the Create a project guide.

Deploy sandbox workloads

Deploy workloads in your project with microVM isolation enabled by default. Each workload runs in its own microVM with a dedicated kernel, providing strong isolation.

Attach volumes to preserve data across restarts and pauses. Scale to zero to pause compute billing while keeping storage intact.

Build and deploy your code

Quickly and easily build and run code from a Git repository using a Dockerfile or buildpack.

Add a persistent volume

Add persistent volumes to your deployments.

Next steps

Create sandboxes with SDK

Deploy sandboxes programmatically using the Northflank JS SDK.

Deploy a sandbox in your own cloud

Create sandboxes in your own cloud with microVM isolation enabled.
