## The use case: how Asteroid deploys Daytona

Asteroid runs AI browser agents that automate workflows for healthcare and insurance organizations. It uses Daytona to spin up an isolated, ephemeral VM for each workflow execution, including Windows VMs for legacy EHR applications, and tears it down when the task finishes.

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

> With Daytona, Asteroid replaced its homegrown infrastructure with a managed runtime platform that enabled consistent deployment, scaling, and monitoring of agent workflows.

- **130k+**: “130k+ sandboxes provisioned per month with Daytona”
- **10x**: “10x growth in sandbox throughput in only four months”

> Daytona transformed what we could do overnight. We went from being capped at a handful of agents to confidently scaling to tens of thousands of executions per month.
