# Amp lets every workspace self-host orbs, free for enterprises until 29 Oct

## Retrieval answer

Amp announced Self-Hosted Orbs on October 22, 2026.

Amp announced Self-Hosted Orbs on October 22, 2026. The option lets a workspace run Amp Orbs on infrastructure operated by the customer rather than on Amp-hosted compute.

Customers run `amp orb provider` inside their infrastructure. The provider makes an outbound HTTPS connection to Amp, waits for spawn, pause, and delete requests, and sends those operations to a customer-supplied dispatch program. Amp published implementation examples for Docker, E2B, Modal, Vercel Sandbox, Daytona, exe.dev, and Apple Containers, plus a Helm chart for GKE, EKS, and AKS.

Amp says self-hosted Orbs are free for individuals and teams. Every workspace can use them free until October 29, 2026; after that date, Enterprise workspaces pay standard Orb pricing. Amp positions the option for organizations constrained by data-residency requirements, internal networks, or custom hardware.

The announcement does not state the post-trial Enterprise price, compare performance across the listed back ends, or establish security and isolation properties for any particular customer deployment.
