Islo vs E2B
Both provide isolated compute for agents. Islo is built for unattended workflows with your real stack.
E2B excels at spinning up sandboxes for code execution and evals. Islo adds persistent dev environments, gateway credential controls, verification, and orchestration so agents finish engineering work autonomously.
