“Manus team was able to implement and deploy E2B in half a day”
As published on e2b.dev, May 2025. Captured by usedby on Oct 6, 2026.
What happened
Manus runs a multi-agent AI system in which executor agents carry out tasks using tools such as a browser, terminal and filesystem. It uses E2B sandboxes as full virtual computers for each user's agent, self-hosted on its own machines.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of E2B and Manus, not ours.
- ~150ms“Speed: A new sandbox can spin up in ~150ms, fast enough to keep up with the users’ standards”
- 3–5 full-time infra engineers“Re-creating and maintaining an infrastructure stack from scratch would have required 3–5 full-time infra engineers.”
Could Manus have built this infrastructure themselves? Technically, yes—but it would have taken months of work by a dedicated infra team. Re-creating and maintaining an infrastructure stack from scratch would have required 3–5 full-time infra engineers.
Manus doesn't just run some pieces of code. It uses 27 different tools, and it needs E2B to have a full virtual computer to work as a real human.
