Exe.dev delivers persistent cloud VMs that boot in under 1 second. Built for coding agents and developers who need fast, sharable sandboxes with built-in HTTPS access.
Overview
Exe.dev - Persistent Cloud VMs That Boot in Under 1 Second
Exe.dev is a subscription service for durable, instantly accessible cloud VMs built for developers, coding agents, and sandboxed compute. Unlike ephemeral environments that lose state between sessions, exe.dev VMs keep their disks and boot in sub-second time - so you pick up exactly where you left off without waiting or rebuilding.
What You Get
- Sub-second VM boot - VMs start in under 1 second with full disk state restored
- Persistent storage - VMs default to 25 GB disk (resizable), measured by filesystem usage
- Instant HTTPS access - Every VM is immediately accessible over HTTPS with sensible secure defaults
- One-click sharing - Share a web server, notebook, prototype, or agent workspace as easily as sharing a Google Doc, with optional built-in authentication
- SOC 2 certified - Enterprise-grade security with formal compliance posture
Plans and Resources
Personal Plan - 50 VMs, 100 GB pooled disk, 200 GB data transfer per month.
Team Plan - 50 VMs per user, 100 GB pooled disk, 250 GB data transfer, admin/user management, and SSO. Team members can burst into teammates' unused capacity.
Reserved Cloud Pool - Up to 512 vCPU / 2048 GB RAM, thousands of VMs with pooled disks, SSO, admin management, and AWS VPC integration.
Each VM runs on 2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM (Personal/Team). Additional disk is available at $0.08/GB/month and additional data transfer at $0.05/GB/month.
Shelley - Built-in Coding Agent
Exe.dev includes Shelley, a web-based coding agent accessible from desktop or mobile over a secure HTTPS route. Ask Shelley to:
- Install software and configure environments
- Run Jupyter notebooks
- Build and deploy websites
- Browse the web and research solutions
- Debug running services
- Automate repetitive tasks inside the VM
Every plan includes a monthly allocation of Shelley tokens priced at underlying model provider rates with no markup. You can purchase additional tokens as needed.
Compatible Tools and Integrations
Exe.dev VMs are standard Linux machines. You do not have to use Shelley - other coding agents and developer tools work natively. The default image comes preinstalled with popular tools, and you can SSH directly into any VM for full terminal access. The platform supports AWS VPC integration on Reserved Cloud Pool plans for secure connectivity to your existing AWS infrastructure.
Shelley can be disabled at any time with sudo systemctl disable --now shelley.service.
Use Case: AI Agent Development Workflow
A development team building AI-powered applications spins up exe.dev VMs as isolated sandboxes for each coding agent. Each agent gets its own persistent environment where it can install dependencies, run tests, and iterate on code - all without affecting other agents or losing state between sessions. When an agent produces a working prototype, the developer shares the VM via authenticated HTTPS link for team review - no port forwarding, no VPN, no deployment pipeline needed.
Getting Started
After subscribing through AWS Marketplace, you will be directed to create your exe.dev account. From there you can provision your first VM immediately through the web dashboard or API. VMs are accessible within seconds of creation.
Security and Compliance
Exe.dev holds SOC 2 certification. All VM access is secured over HTTPS with optional built-in authentication for shared workspaces. The platform enforces secure defaults out of the box so teams can focus on building rather than configuring security.
Highlights
- Sub-second VM boot with persistent disks - Exe.dev VMs start in under 1 second and retain full disk state between sessions. No rebuilding environments, no waiting for cold starts. Default 25 GB disk per VM (resizable), with up to 100 GB pooled storage on Personal and Team plans. SOC 2 certified infrastructure ensures enterprise-grade security for every workload.
- Built-in coding agent accessible from any device - Shelley is a web-based AI coding agent included with every plan, available over secure HTTPS from desktop or mobile. Ask Shelley to install software, run Jupyter notebooks, build websites, debug services, or automate tasks inside your VM. Token pricing tracks underlying model providers with no markup. Disable Shelley anytime if you prefer your own tools.
- Instant authenticated sharing and AWS VPC integration - Share any running VM, web server, notebook, or prototype via authenticated HTTPS link with no port forwarding or VPN required. Reserved Cloud Pool plans include AWS VPC integration for secure connectivity to your existing AWS infrastructure. Team plans include SSO, admin management, and burstable capacity across team members.

Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You buy access through an annual platform fee, then add team seats. Four seat sizes — Small, Medium, Large, and XLarge — let you match capacity to your team's needs. Each seat gives your VMs a shared pool of CPU, memory, and disk, measured hourly and billed monthly. Any number of VMs can share that pool, so the seat size sets your capacity, not the VM count. Extra Disk is a separate add-on billed by filesystem usage when you need storage beyond a seat's included pool. Choose the seat size that fits your workload and scale by adding seats.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One seat is an active user on a Team plan, measured hourly. Each seat provides a shared pool of CPU, memory, and disk. Any number of VMs draw from that pool. The seat size sets your pooled capacity — Small through XLarge give progressively more CPU and RAM across the same fleet.
A stopped VM keeps its disk but releases its CPU and memory back to the pool. Because seats bill by pooled resources measured hourly, idle VMs do not consume active CPU or memory. You keep paying for disk that persists, which is where Extra Disk charges can apply.
The Annual Platform Fee is a required yearly charge for marketplace access. Team seats bill monthly based on active seats. Extra Disk bills by filesystem usage when storage exceeds a seat's included pool. All three apply together. Seat count usually drives most of the monthly cost.
