Daytona, a startup founded in Croatia, has announced a $24M Series A funding round. The goal is to develop a compute infrastructure specifically designed to support complex workloads based on software agents.

Infrastructure for Agents: Daytona's Vision

Daytona's vision is to provide a computing environment that adapts to the needs of software agents, which require resources capable of scaling quickly and managing state efficiently. Traditional cloud infrastructure, optimized for stateless production workloads, is often not ideal for developing and experimenting with agents, which need flexible, stateful environments.

Sandboxes as a Key Element

Daytona introduces the concept of sandboxes as a fundamental element of the infrastructure. A sandbox is a programmatic, composable computing environment in which CPU, memory, storage, GPU, networking, and the operating system can be provisioned on demand. These sandboxes can be started, paused, forked, snapshotted, or terminated at any point during execution.

Future Perspectives

With the new funding, Daytona plans to expand its offering beyond sandboxes to support a broader set of agent-native infrastructure components. The company intends to scale its systems to handle higher volumes of concurrent agent workloads, deepen integrations with developer and agent tooling, and further improve reliability, security, and performance.
