Vercel Sandboxes now allow unique, customizable names
By Steven Van ·
The beta SDK and CLI let developers find, resume and inspect sandboxes by name instead of by ID.
Vercel Sandboxes created with the latest beta package now get a unique, customizable name within a project, replacing the previous ID-based identification. Names cannot be changed after a sandbox is created.
- A sandbox can be found and resumed by its name instead of tracking its ID.
- The beta CLI adds configuration management and session inspection: creating a named sandbox, running commands against it (with automatic resume if it had timed out), and listing its past sessions.
- Named sandboxes are the mechanism for identifying automatic persistence, tying a session to the same name at both creation and resumption.
The beta packages are available now: pnpm install @vercel/sandbox@beta for the SDK, and pnpm install -g sandbox@beta for the CLI.
