What we make
Cube runs any container image. The Managed Applications run on it.
Cube
- CubeAny container image as an app that sleeps between requests
- VolumesCube’s disks, which outlive their instance
Managed Applications
- SandboxA computer of its own for every agent
- SoonBrowserReal browsers, driven from code
- SoonServerless PostgresPostgres that sleeps when idle and wakes on a connection
- SoonThird-party appsOpen-source projects run for you, then a marketplace
What makes it different
- Awake in milliseconds. A sleeping sandbox wakes in 3.5 ms and answers the request that woke it in 6.7 ms, where it left off.
- Fast hardware, one kind for everyone. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors and local NVMe drives on every machine we run today, the same platform on every plan.
- A machine of its own. Every sandbox and every Cube’s instance is its own Firecracker microVM. Security
- Pay for what runs. CPU only while it works, counted to the microsecond; memory only while it is awake. Pricing
Where it runs
Global by default: one deploy runs in every region we operate, and each request is answered in the region it reaches.

How we measure
Every number on this site is measured on bare metal, on the kind of machine we run, and says where and when. We do not publish estimates as measurements. How we measure
Who we are
Glac is made by GLAC PTY LTD, a company registered in Australia (ACN 680 390 130, ABN 27 680 390 130). We build and run the platform ourselves, on bare-metal machines we rent in each region.
