    Shiba

    free • Free
    Updated Oct 2026

    Shiba is an open-source AI software engineer that runs in your own Cloudflare account. Give it a repo and a coding task from Slack, Telegram, Discord, GitHub or the web; it shows the exact tool input, waits for your approval, runs in an isolated Cloudflare container sandbox, and returns a diff. You bring your own harness — OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Devin CLI, Cursor or Antigravity — with provider credentials kept outside the sandbox. It's free and self-hosted. Worth weighing: self-hosting means you own the ops burden, and the approval gate only helps if you actually read the diffs. For teams who want agentic coding without handing their repo to a third-party service, the architecture is exactly right.
