Render Sandboxes with ComputeSDK

Self-host sandbox environments on Render's cloud platform through ComputeSDK's unified API. Render provides a unified cloud platform with zero infrastructure setup — ideal for self-hosted sandbox environments where you want full control over your compute.

Setup

npm install computesdk

# .env
COMPUTESDK_API_KEY=your_computesdk_api_key
RENDER_API_KEY=your_render_api_key
RENDER_OWNER_ID=your_render_owner_id

Get your ComputeSDK key at https://console.computesdk.com/register

Quick Start

import { compute } from 'computesdk';
// Auto-detects Render from environment variables

const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();

const result = await sandbox.runCode('print("Hello from Render!")');
console.log(result.output);

await sandbox.destroy();

Explicit Configuration

For multi-provider setups or when you want to be explicit:

import { compute } from 'computesdk';

compute.setConfig({
  computesdkApiKey: process.env.COMPUTESDK_API_KEY,
  provider: 'render',
  render: {
    apiKey: process.env.RENDER_API_KEY,
    ownerId: process.env.RENDER_OWNER_ID,
  }
});

const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();

Render Configuration Options

interface RenderConfig {
  apiKey?: string;     // Uses RENDER_API_KEY env var if not set
  ownerId?: string;    // Uses RENDER_OWNER_ID env var if not set
}

Full API

ComputeSDK provides the same API across all providers: filesystem operations, shell commands, managed servers, overlays, terminals, and client access.
