Mastra PlatformSandbox Adds Process Controls
Mastra’s PlatformSandbox now includes a full background-process manager through @mastra/platform-workspace, enabling developers to spawn commands, stream output, list jobs, reattach by PID, and stop processes. The update makes sandbox environments practical for dev servers, file watchers, and long-running agent workloads.
This moves sandbox execution beyond one-shot commands toward a durable development runtime.
- –Live stdout and stderr streaming makes background jobs observable without polling
- –PID-based listing, reattachment, and termination support recovery across application restarts
- –Long-running processes fit agent workflows that need servers, workers, or watchers to stay alive
- –Periodic stream reconnection is useful, but output loss during reconnects remains an operational caveat
