Daytona
Daytona is a Secure and Elastic Infrastructure for Running AI-Generated Code
Our verdict
A usable project with some maintenance caveats. This assessment is derived from GitHub's own repository metrics on 2026-08-24, not from hands-on testing.
Daytona is a Secure and Elastic Infrastructure for Running AI-Generated Code. It has 71,322 stars and 233 contributors, though the last commit landed 3 months ago. No recognised licence is declared, which leaves reuse on uncertain ground whatever the code quality. The most recent tagged release is v0.190.0, from 2026-06-23. Figures come from the GitHub API on 2026-11-13 and refresh weekly.
