Gumloop Has Run on E2B for Over Two Years — Serving Enterprises Like Shopify and Instacart

Gumloop is an AI automation platform backed by Y Combinator. E2B has been their code execution layer since the beginning — over two years and counting.

Two Years, One Outage

Gumloop is one of E2B’s longest-standing customers. Code execution is a core part of their infrastructure — powering every custom workflow node, every integration, and every agent tool call. In over two years of running on E2B, co-founder Rahul Behal recalls only a single outage.

“You are super reliable. There’s only been one outage I can think of in the past two years. You’re doing a really good job at reliability and support, and the product is really good. Just keep doing the exact same thing you’re doing.” — Rahul Behal, Co-founder, Gumloop

When E2B works, Gumloop’s enterprise customers never have to think about what’s running under the hood. For a platform trusted by banks and large corporations, that’s the point.

Enterprise-Grade from Day One

Gumloop chose E2B early and never left. Rahul points to several reasons:

  • Reliability — Effectively zero downtime over two years
  • Developer experience — Easy to set up, simple to integrate
  • Cost — Affordable at scale for enterprise workloads
  • Open source — The #1 reason: the option to self-host for data residency
“The number one reason is that it’s open source and we have the option to self-host. As we get more and more enterprises, we’re deploying Gumloop on their cloud infrastructure. Having the ability to self-host is important to us from a data residency perspective.” — Rahul Behal, Co-founder, Gumloop

For enterprise customers in regulated industries, data residency isn’t optional. E2B’s open-source infrastructure gives Gumloop the flexibility to run sandboxes wherever their customers need them.

How Gumloop Uses E2B

Gumloop has evolved from a workflow builder into a full AI automation platform with agents. E2B powers code execution across both:

  • Agent code sandbox — When a Gumloop agent needs to run code, it calls an E2B sandbox under the hood, executes, and returns results to the conversation
  • Custom workflow nodes — Users describe what they need in plain English, AI writes the code, and E2B executes it every time the node runs
  • Integration nodes — When users connect services like Gmail or Salesforce, AI generates the integration code and E2B runs it in a sandbox

Virtually nobody writes code manually — every piece of code running in E2B is AI-generated from user prompts.

“The vast majority of people use agents nowadays. In terms of tools, you can add a code sandbox tool — and this uses E2B under the hood.” — Rahul Behal, Co-founder, Gumloop

Growing Together

Gumloop’s trajectory from a side project built in a Vancouver bedroom to serving Shopify and Instacart reflects a broader shift: enterprises are adopting AI automation at scale, and they need infrastructure they can trust.

E2B has been that infrastructure for Gumloop from the start. As their agent capabilities grow and enterprise customers explore self-hosted deployments, E2B’s role only becomes more central — the same reliable foundation, now serving the next generation of enterprise AI workflows.
