The main _differentiator_ here, compared to other dev environments and sandbox platforms, is that Cordium automatically provides identity-based, secretless secure access to resources/infrastructure (e.g. APIs, SSH, databases, k8s, etc.) without having to inject credentials (e.g. API keys, SSH private keys, database passwords, etc.) into the sandbox where the upstream credential is held by the identity-aware proxy of the Octelium-protected resource outside the reach of the sandbox. You can simply think of it as a sandbox + ZTNA/remote-access-VPN baked-in where access to infrastructure is based on identity and policy-as-code rather than credentials.

Cordium is a purely FOSS project under Apache 2.0 that's meant for self-hosting and there are no plans for a pro/SaaS/cloud version. The development of the project started back in 2022 and it is already being used by a few organizations that use Octelium since last year. Happy to answer any questions.
