**New Sandbox Service:** - Separate microservice for secure npm package execution - Uses isolated-vm for V8-level isolation - 128MB memory limit, 10s timeout - Package caching for performance - Express API with /execute, /health, /cache/clear endpoints **Why Microservice:** - VM2 doesn't work with Next.js Turbopack (requires runtime file access) - isolated-vm doesn't work in Vercel serverless (native bindings) - Microservice allows full Node environment with proper sandboxing - Industry standard approach (Replit, CodeSandbox, RunKit) **Deployment:** - Dockerfile with isolated-vm build dependencies - Railway.json configuration - Health checks and auto-restart policies - CORS configuration for Next.js integration **Next Steps:** 1. Deploy to Railway: cd services/sandbox-executor railway init railway up 2. Set SANDBOX_EXECUTOR_URL in Next.js env 3. Update API routes to call sandbox service This provides secure, production-ready package execution outside Vercel's constraints. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> |

TPMJS Sandbox Executor Service
Isolated microservice for securely executing TPMJS npm packages using isolated-vm.
Architecture
This service runs separately from the main Next.js application to provide:
- Secure sandboxing using V8 isolates
- Resource limits (128MB memory, 10s timeout)
- Package caching for faster subsequent executions
- Isolation from main app - no risk of compromising the web app
API Endpoints
POST /execute
Execute an npm package function.
Request:
{
"packageName": "@tpmjs/createblogpost",
"functionName": "default",
"params": {
"topic": "TypeScript best practices",
"length": "medium"
}
}
Response:
{
"success": true,
"output": "Generated blog post content...",
"executionTimeMs": 1234,
"logs": []
}
GET /health
Health check endpoint.
Response:
{
"status": "healthy",

}
POST /cache/clear
Clear the npm package cache.
Environment Variables
PORT- Server port (default: 3000)PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR- Package cache directory (default: /tmp/.tpmjs-cache)ALLOWED_ORIGINS- Comma-separated list of allowed CORS origins (default: *)
Deployment
Railway
- Initialize Railway project:
railway init
- Link to existing project or create new:
railway link
- Deploy:
railway up
- Set environment variables:
railway variables set ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://tpmjs.com,https://tpmjs-web.vercel.app
- Get the service URL:
railway domain
Local Development
npm install
npm run dev
Test locally:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"packageName": "@tpmjs/createblogpost",
"params": {"topic": "TypeScript"}
}'
Security
- Runs in isolated V8 context
- 128MB memory limit per execution
- 10 second timeout
- No filesystem access from sandbox
- No network access from sandbox
- Packages cached in /tmp
Integration with Next.js
Update the Next.js API route to call this service:
// apps/web/src/app/api/tools/execute/[...slug]/route.ts
const SANDBOX_URL = process.env.SANDBOX_EXECUTOR_URL;
const response = await fetch(`${SANDBOX_URL}/execute`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
packageName,
functionName: 'default',
params
})
});
const result = await response.json();
