Just published a new feature I'm excited about for the CodeSandbox SDK: Sessions API 🎉 This API allows you to create multiple users in a single sandbox, allowing for collaborative editing and sharing sandboxes publicly. + we use the same API at CodeSandbox 😄

This has been one of the top feature requests since we released the SDK and it unlocks some cool use cases: - Collaboration: allow multiple users to connect to the same sandbox/branch and collaboratively edit files - Anonymous previews: create r/o sessions to share files/shells with others

Under the hood, we create a Linux user for every unique session and start a rootless Podman container which the session will operate from. This way, the session is isolated from other sessions, but you will still be able to do root operations. Docs are here: codesandbox.io/docs/sdk/se...

codesandbox.ioSessions – CodeSandboxSessions allow you to create multiple users inside a single sandbox.
