Runtime is a governance and observability platform built specifically for coding agents, providing the sandboxed execution environments, session-level visibility, and configurable guardrails that enterprises need to deploy autonomous coding agents safely in production. As coding agents gain the ability to read and write code, run commands, and interact with development infrastructure, the governance and oversight requirements around them grow significantly — Runtime addresses this by giving engineering and security teams the controls and visibility needed to operate coding agents with appropriate oversight rather than deploying them as opaque, ungoverned systems. The platform has traction among YC-backed scaleups and targets mid-market and enterprise engineering organizations. It differentiates through its specific focus on the governance challenges unique to coding agents, rather than general-purpose agent observability.
Runtime
Governance and observability for safe enterprise coding agent deployment.

SOC 2
Key Features
- Sandboxed execution environments: Provides isolated environments for coding agent execution, ensuring agents operate within defined boundaries and cannot take actions outside their sanctioned scope.
- Session-level visibility: Captures and surfaces a complete record of what coding agents are doing within each session — commands run, files accessed, code written — giving teams full auditability of agent behavior.
- Configurable guardrails: Allows organizations to define the actions, resources, and operations that coding agents are and are not permitted to execute, enforcing policy constraints at runtime rather than relying on agent self-restraint.
- Governance audit trail: Maintains a structured log of agent actions suitable for security review, incident investigation, and compliance reporting.
- Enterprise deployment controls: Provides the administrative and policy management tooling that enterprise security and engineering teams need to govern coding agent deployments across their organization.
Use Cases
- For enterprises deploying coding agents with production system access: An enterprise engineering team wants to deploy autonomous coding agents that can interact with their development infrastructure but needs guardrails and visibility to satisfy their security team — Runtime provides the governance layer that makes the deployment acceptable.
- For scaleups managing coding agent risk as they grow: A fast-growing technology company that has adopted coding agents extensively uses Runtime to maintain visibility and control as their agent usage expands, ensuring governance keeps pace with adoption before a security or reliability incident occurs.
