Closing the execution gap: a series

Developer Arun Raghunath launched jhansi.io, an open-core cloud sandbox designed to safely execute AI-generated code in production. The platform addresses the gap between AI writing code and running it securely, with a five-part series covering persistent sandboxes, dependency management, isolation, secrets handling, and audit logging.

Every AI coding tool can write Python — Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf. None of them can run it safely in production. That gap between "AI wrote the code" and "the code ran safely" is exactly what I'm building jhansi.io https://jhansi.io to close. This series documents the journey. One layer of the problem at a time. When AI generates code, four things still stand between you and prod: eval your way through an audit.jhansi.io is the missing run for AI-generated code. Open core, cloud sandbox, built to close each part of the gap — layer by layer. Part 1 — Persistent sandboxes Why "ephemeral" breaks debugging, state, and compliance. The case for giving every AI a home directory. → Read Part 1 https://dev.to/thearun85/the-case-for-persistent-sandboxes-in-ai-code-execution-3158 Part 2 — Dependency management coming soon Detecting, installing, and locking deps across Python, Node, Go, and Java. With SBOMs and policy built in. Part 3 — Isolation coming soon What "hard isolation" actually means. Containers, Firecracker, zero trust networking, and the metadata service attacks you haven't thought of yet. Part 4 — Secrets coming soon Kernel-level proxies. AI can call Stripe without the key ever entering the sandbox. Part 5 — Audit coming soon Who ran what, when, with which prompt. Hash-chained logs that satisfy auditors, not just engineers. Building this in public.
