Cloudflare Launches New Sandbox SDK for Developers

Overview of Cloudflare's development toolkit for sandbox environments

From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

Cloudflare has introduced a sandbox environment for running code in containers, but users raise concerns about pricing, internet access controls, and persistent storage.

Why it matters: This sandbox offers isolated environments for running untrusted code, which is important for security and development flexibility.

The stakes: Cloudflare's container pricing is significantly higher than major cloud providers, potentially limiting adoption for cost-sensitive users.

The other side: Users desire more granular network controls and clearer persistent storage details to safely run and manage workloads.

Commenters say: Many appreciate the concept but criticize the high cost, lack of fine-grained networking, and unclear persistence features.
