  • Volumes: persistent file storage attached to scripts via comment annotations, synced to workspace object storage.
  • Dynamic volume names with $workspace and $args[...] interpolation.
  • Per-worker LRU volume cache (10 GB) with exclusive leasing for concurrency safety.
  • Per-script sandbox annotation (#sandbox / //sandbox) now supported for Python and TypeScript in addition to Bash.
  • AI sandbox: sandboxing + volumes pattern for running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) with persistent state.
  • Built-in Claude Code template using the Claude Agent SDK with volume-backed session persistence.
  • Volumes UI in the Assets page for browsing, exploring, and deleting volumes.
  • Community Edition volume limits: max 20 volumes per workspace, 50 MB per file.

Get a notification everytime on critical events such as when a job is re-run after a crash.

New features

  • Get email or Slack notifications for critical events such as everytime a job is re-run after a crash.
  • You can set an alert to receive notification via Email or Slack when the number of running workers in a group falls below a given number.

All secrets of a workspace are encrypted with a symmetric key unique to that workspace. This key is generated when the workspace is created and is stored in the database in the workspace_settings. You can now manually update the encryption key of a workspace, it will be re-encrypted with the new key and the previous key will be replaced by the new one.

New features

  • Manually update the encryption key of a workspace.
