Compare performance across sandbox, storage, browsers, and ai gateway providers.
Overview
ComputeSDK Benchmarks publishes reproducible, provider-neutral performance measurements for the infrastructure that AI agents and developer platforms run on: sandboxes, object storage, headless browsers, and AI gateways. Every test is automated, every result is committed as JSON, and the methodology is public. Live leaderboards and full methodology: https://www.computesdk.com/benchmarks For LLMs and agents: see llms.txt for a machine-readable index of this repo, and results/schema.json for the JSON Schema of every benchmark result file. - WRITING_BENCHMARKS.md — step-by-step guide to authoring benchmarks. - examples/ — runnable *.bench.ts examples covering every benchsdk capability. - packages/create-bench/README.md — scaffold a new benchmark project in one command. - packages/benchsdk-runner/README.md — runner API and bench run reference. - .agents/skills/benchsdk-cli/SKILL.md — full bench CLI reference (auth, org, runs, results, artifacts, export).

ComputeSDK Benchmarks
The default platform for cloud infrastructure benchmarks.
ComputeSDK Benchmarks publishes reproducible, provider-neutral performance measurements for the infrastructure that AI agents and developer platforms run on: sandboxes, object storage, headless browsers, and AI gateways. Every test is automated, every result is committed as JSON, and the methodology is public.

What We Measure
We benchmark the infrastructure that AI agents and developer platforms rely on:
- Sandboxes — cold-start and concurrent Time to Interactive (TTI): API request to first successful command inside a fresh sandbox.
- Object storage — upload/download latency and throughput across providers and file sizes.
- Headless browsers — session creation, navigation, and step throughput.
- AI gateways — cold/warm connection latency and time to first token.
Methodology
Every benchmark uses the same open code against every provider, with fixed workloads and a fixed scoring ceiling. Tests run automatically on GitHub Actions, and every result is committed as JSON to this repo. Each metric includes min, max, median, P95, and P99; a composite score rewards both speed and reliability.

Transparency
- 📖 Open source — All benchmark code is public
- 📊 Raw data — Every result committed to repo as JSON
- 🔁 Reproducible — Anyone can run the same tests
- ⚙️ Automated — Daily at 5pm Pacific (00:00 UTC) via GitHub Actions on Namespace runners
- 🛡️ Independent — Sponsors cannot influence results

Powered by ComputeSDK — We use ComputeSDK, a multi-provider SDK, to test all sandbox providers with the same code. One API, multiple providers, fair comparison.
