## The use case: how AfterQuery deploys Daytona

AfterQuery builds custom environments for training and evaluating AI agents, and uses Daytona to provision isolated, long-running sandboxes on demand, replacing an in-house GKE cluster. It versions each task's sandbox with Snapshots so trials start from the latest saved state.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Daytona and AfterQuery, not ours.

> Thanks to Daytona's detailed documentation and simple API, AfterQuery replaced their GKE setup with fully managed sandbox infrastructure in a single day.

- **40+ hours**: “40+ hours of engineering time saved weekly”

> As a frontier applied AI research lab, the infrastructure we need often does not exist. Daytona broke that trend. Their efficient, intuitive runtime platform now powers the sandbox infrastructure for our entire environments program.
