Replit does this for their own services, and it seems like they might give you access to it, too[1].

That post is old and not very detailed, so maybe I'm misinterpreting it.

from the page: "Our old code execution API has been deprecated."

That would be the perfect solution to this, that's for sharing! Hopefully they'll launch something new soon!

Another thought: "lambda" (FaaS) platforms.

They have already figured out how to isolate functions from harming the host system, and they've solved the issue of potentially infinite execution time.
