Cloud browsers and web APIs for AI agents
Spin up scalable, sandboxed headless browsers on demand and drive them with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or the Stagehand framework.
Find relevant websites from a single query and convert any URL into clean HTML, JSON, or markdown built for LLM context.
Authenticate agents and get through login walls, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot systems so workflows do not stall mid-task.
Inspect sessions with live view, replay, structured logs, and debugging across prompts, model calls, and browser actions.

Deploy Compose apps and AI agents to your own cloud account
Deploy a Docker Compose file into your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account without managing Kubernetes by hand.
Spin up review environments for changes, including those produced by AI agents, before promoting to production.
Run coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex against your own Anthropic and OpenAI accounts, reachable from any browser.
Work with Defang engineers inside your codebase and cloud accounts to rebuild your delivery workflow.

Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads

Offers built-in agentic web automation and search features, but is less focused on raw low-level browser infrastructure control.
Provides reliable remote Chrome sessions for automation, but lacks the robust developer debugging toolkit built into Browserbase.


Excels at massive-scale web scraping and proxy management, but is less tailored for real-time interactive AI agent sessions.

SpecialistSpecializes in anti-detect browser profiles and persistent logins, but offers fewer developer-focused APIs for autonomous agent workflows.


SpecialistAI DevOps engineer that deploys and scales your apps

Provides similar headless browser API access and scalability, but lacks Browserbase's specialized session debugging tools.
The low-cost cloud sandbox where AI agents actually live

Self-hosted cloud development environments and AI coding agents for enterprise teams

Persistent Ubuntu cloud VMs built for AI agent factories

Agent-native cloud infrastructure that lets coding agents run the whole backend stack
