Perplexity swaps long-lived sandboxes for ephemeral ones on S3-backed storage
perplexity_ai · x · 2026-10-13
Perplexity explains its sandbox strategy for Projects: a single long-lived sandbox per project would need peak-load provisioning and months of uptime. Instead, repositories live on S3-backed storage and each agent runs in its own ephemeral sandbox, so a crash loses only unsubmitted work, with the Git service running as stateless replicas.
