Compute Connector Overview
Compute Connector routes heavy shell jobs from an agent to temporary sandboxes on Vercel, e2b, Daytona, Modal, or Workers Sandbox accounts. Its memory check recommends running locally or offloading based on available memory and the planned command. Provider keys are encrypted before storage, while jobs return exit status plus the final 16 KB of output. Reach for it when local agent hardware cannot reliably handle a task and you want execution billed to your own provider account.
Primary Use Cases for Compute Connector:
- Check available memory before starting a resource-heavy task
- Run shell commands in temporary cloud sandboxes
- Compare supported providers before choosing an execution backend
- Review weekly offload decisions, runtime, and failures
