Field notes
Onboarding is manual: developers submit a form, then receive a key, usually within a day, and can point the existing E2B SDK at Firelet by changing two environment variables. The page describes its implementation as a pinned fork of E2B’s Apache 2.0 Embed stack, with a Python 3.12 template and preinstalled data stack. It reports 180ms p50 and 243ms p99 for create-to-exec over public HTTPS, but provides no further benchmark methodology.
