Software Development and Testing
Give engineers ready-to-use development, test and CI/CD environments on demand, while platform teams define the controls once and automate provisioning, governance and cleanup.

Why it matters
The challenge
- Shared, drifting test environments that block releases
- Tickets and manual work for every new environment
- Forgotten resources quietly adding to the bill
With Sandbox Studio
- Fresh environments on demand without tickets
- Provisioning embedded into developer workflows
- Automatic cleanup and lifecycle management without platform intervention
How it helps
- 01Reuse Terraform, CloudFormation and existing deployment assets
- 02Ephemeral environments requested from pipelines through the API
- 03Consistent guardrails and permissions for every environment
- 04Automatic cleanup with pre- and post-cleanup hooks
