# Build ephemeral databases that cold-start in 10 milliseconds VM-grade isolation, a CLI experience that devs and agents love, with no weird sales gates; all backed by Datum's global network and cross-cloud galactic VPC private networking. ## Isolated. Fast. Private. Datum Compute securely unlocks intelligence at the edge. - microVMs that start and stop in milliseconds - Supports any containerized application - Private networking that spans clouds - Autoscaling and pay-as-you-go pricing - Pull images from private registries - Mount configs & secrets to the filesystem or env variables ### How we stack up: | | Cold start | | --- | --- | | microVM | <10ms | | Container cold start | ~400ms | | Traditional VM | 30s+ | Instances boot on demand and scale back to zero when idle, so an idle sandbox costs nothing while staying instantly available. ## Use Cases A sample of what Datum Compute can run for you. ### Sandboxes Run untrusted or agent-generated code inside a hardware-isolated VM instead of a shared container, with per-tenant boundaries you can actually defend. - Strong VM isolation per tenant - Launch a sandbox in <10ms - Fork sub-agents in milliseconds - Private by default networking with Galactic VPC ### Headless browsers Spin up a fresh browser per session in milliseconds, scrape or render at scale, then tear it down without paying for idle capacity. - One clean browser per session - Cold start in single-digit milliseconds - Burst to thousands of parallel pages - Scale back to zero between jobs ### AI agents Give each agent run its own disposable machine, isolated and ready in milliseconds. - A private machine per agent run - Snapshot mid-run and resume later - Private egress through Galactic VPC --- Source:
