Sprites API v1

Sprite Management

Sprites are persistent environments that hibernate when idle and wake automatically on demand. You only pay for compute while actively using them—storage persists indefinitely.

Create Sprites for development environments, CI runners, code execution sandboxes, or any workload that benefits from fast startup with preserved state. Each Sprite gets a unique URL for HTTP access, configurable as public or authenticated.
