Cloud IDE
DRL-PPO scheduling, eBPF telemetry, adaptive sandboxing, LSTM prewarming, multi-cluster federation, and conflict-free collaboration, in one open research platform.
Live globe
Workspaces around the world
Every user connects to the nearest cluster. The PPO scheduler watches global state and routes workspaces across four federated regions: Denmark, India, California and Singapore. Drag the globe to rotate it.
Live demo
Adaptive sandboxing, in real time
When a user submits code, the risk scorer routes it to the right isolation tier: runc (low overhead), gVisor (user-space kernel), or Firecracker (hardware microVM).
Seven breakthroughs

Scheduling
Eight schedulers, one honest benchmark
Placement is a choice, not a black box. Compare deep-RL against the classical heuristics on real workloads and pick what fits.
Pick your scheduler
The control plane ships eight placement strategies. Choose per deployment, or compare them live on any workload.
Honest result: on makespan the list-scheduling heuristics (HEFT, Min-Min) lead; the PF-MPPO deep-RL policy is competitive and clearly beats random, but does not dominate the strong heuristics. We expose the trade-off instead of hiding it.
Makespan by algorithm
lower is betterbenchmarks/b1_scheduler, template workloads. Evaluated vs the paper's HEFT and Min-Min baselines plus greedy and random.
How it compares
A research control plane the others don't have
Mainstream cloud IDEs fix their scheduling, isolation and placement. ASTRA-IDE makes each an adaptive, measured decision.
