About the Sandbox
The EvidentSource Sandbox at sandbox.evidentsource.com is a public, hosted EvidentSource instance we run so you can try the platform without installing anything.
What it’s for
Section titled “What it’s for”- Exploring the API from curl, Postman, or any SDK
- Validating an SDK integration end-to-end
- Demoing a command/event/view flow to a colleague
- Exercising components generated by Designer
- Testing AI agents against a live EvidentSource via MCP
What it is not
Section titled “What it is not”The Sandbox is not:
- A staging environment
- A private workspace
- A persistent store
- A supported product surface
What to expect (and not expect)
Section titled “What to expect (and not expect)”When to stop using the Sandbox and run your own
Section titled “When to stop using the Sandbox and run your own”If any of the following are true, you’ve outgrown the Sandbox:
- You need your data to persist
- You need your data to be private to your team or customers
- You need predictable availability
- You need authentication and authorization you control
- You are processing data that has regulatory or contractual constraints
See Operations: containers + S3 for how to deploy EvidentSource in your own AWS account. The runtime is a single container backed by S3 — there’s less to operate than you’d think.
