Factory launches OpenCompute, a self-hosted agent sandbox orchestrator
On October 14, 2026, Factory introduced OpenCompute, a self-hosted orchestrator for agent sandboxes now in private preview that runs on the customer's choice of runtime, including Kubernetes, AWS Lambda MicroVMs, EC2 and in-house platforms. It connects to the Factory backend over an outbound, TLS-secured WebSocket with no inbound firewall ports required; the Go control plane records desired and observed state in a Postgres database inside the customer's environment, uses a declarative reconciler, and splits each provider into a standalone gRPC driver with a required Core conformance profile plus optional Suspend, Snapshot and Fork profiles. Factory says its first customer went from prototype to a first sandbox running in its own data center in six weeks, and the company plans to open-source OpenCompute, including its contracts, conformance tests and driver model.
It keeps agent sandbox orchestration on the customer's own infrastructure, addressing enterprise concerns about data sovereignty and control.
