Agent Hosting Platform

A hosted platform for deploying, running, and managing agents in production - handling containerized deployment, task lifecycle, versioning, filesystem orchestration, and operational concerns (secrets, logs, environments) so teams ship agents without building custom infrastructure.

Details

They sit above sandbox services (which provision isolated execution environments) and inference providers (which handle model calls): the hosting platform adds deployment, version management, task routing, filesystem mounting, and production tooling (rollbacks, preview environments, observability) around the agent runtime.

Common capabilities include containerized agent packaging (typically Docker), event-based task lifecycle handlers (create/event/complete), per-task filesystem configuration with read/write controls, in-flight task migration across agent versions, agent checkpointing, built-in messaging layers with persistence and streaming, and multi-tenant namespace isolation for B2B use cases.

Examples

• Terminal Use - purpose-built hosting for long-running agents that need filesystem access, with namespace-based multi-tenancy and Vercel AI SDK integration.
• General-purpose compute platforms (Modal, Render, Railway) adapted for agent workloads with container orchestration and persistent storage.
