Mislav Ivanda

Mislav Ivanda is a developer experience engineer at Daytona who integrates isolated execution environments into agent frameworks, coding harnesses, and workflow tools. Across those integrations, he found that a framework might expose Daytona as a tool, load it as a plugin, or extend its own sandbox client. The interfaces differed, but the work followed the same sandbox lifecycle: create an environment, run a task inside it, and delete it when the work is done.

Keeping remote work visible

In April 2026, Mislav wrote about Daytona becoming available through Stripe Projects. In September, he documented how the Daytona component for Convex lets an application track work after handing it off to a sandbox. The component stores each sandbox and command execution in reactive tables. A background command returns an execution ID immediately, and scheduled functions supervise the run while logs stream into its record. The interface subscribes to that record, so a user who refreshes mid-run can pick up the same progress a teammate sees in another browser.

Where the agent’s tools run

Integrating the same lifecycle across frameworks led Mislav to put the execution boundary ahead of framework choice. His example is a database tool called by code running in an embedded runtime. The runtime can restrict the code’s direct access to the filesystem and network, while the tool still runs on the host with the application’s database access. Once tools are written around the host’s filesystem or credentials, moving execution to a separate machine can require rewriting the tools themselves. Mislav favors putting execution on a separate, disposable machine and defining the interface to it early. He sees sandbox providers as comparatively easy to switch because they share the basic lifecycle, while making an exception for durable execution among framework features because it can shape the application’s architecture.
