Sprites (sprites.dev)

Critical Rule: No SSH

Sprites are NOT accessed via SSH. They are microVMs from sprites.dev managed through an HTTP/WebSocket API. If you find yourself thinking "I'll SSH into the sprite," stop — use the API instead.

What Is a Sprite?

• Persistent, hardware-isolated Linux microVM (not a container)
• Full ext4 filesystem that persists between runs
• Wakes from hibernation on request; idle = no compute cost
• Exposed via a unique URL (e.g. https://ladybug-binjk.sprites.app)
• Ideal for long-lived services, AI agent execution, isolated dev environments

Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token:
