Spunto
Spunto provides isolated development environments, production deployments, and operations tools on compute controlled by the customer.
What Spunto is
Spunto provides isolated development environments, production deployments, and operations tools on compute controlled by the customer. Each AI sandbox includes a Linux environment with Docker, persistent storage, a terminal, and HTTPS URLs for ports. Agents can interact through a REST API or MCP server using scoped keys, and workers support devcontainer-compatible configurations accessible in a browser or over SSH. For deployments, Spunto runs grouped Docker services with custom domains, automatic TLS, pre-deploy hooks, logs, and one-click service presets. It documents GitHub integration and connections to Google Cloud, Hetzner, or a user's own server. Its listed Git providers include GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, and self-hosted remotes, and it supports pull request previews. Spunto says workers and services use isolated Docker bridge networks, secrets are encrypted and write-only, and repositories are cloned on connected nodes rather than its servers. Organization roles include owner, admin, and member. The BYOC plan is described as free for every beta user, with no card or trial clock, but no price is listed. Snapshots, forking a running sandbox, and a streamed desktop are not yet available.

Who it suits
Spunto may suit teams needing reproducible, isolated environments for onboarding, feature branches, AI agent sandboxes, or production services. It is relevant to teams that want deployments on their own or connected compute.
Verdict
Spunto combines isolated development environments with Docker deployments on customer-controlled compute, plus API and MCP access for agents. Its stated missing features include snapshots, sandbox forking, and a streamed desktop.
