How to choose a Daytona alternative
- Keep the model provider swappable. A gateway or abstraction layer costs little now and saves a rewrite when pricing or quality shifts.
- Instrument evaluation before you scale. Teams that ship without tracing cannot tell whether a prompt change helped or hurt.
- Model the unit economics at real volume. Token pricing that looks trivial in testing becomes the dominant cost at production traffic.
