Best Cloud & DevOps Alternatives to Maritime in 2026
Maritime is a YC-backed cloud that gives every AI agent its own isolated machine: persistent agent boxes that sleep and wake in about a second, per-second sandboxes and swarms, and Linux desktops, Windows desktops and Android phones an agent can see and control, driven by API, SDKs, CLI or MCP.
