Sandbox

What is a Sandbox?

A sandbox is a controlled environment used for testing new features, products, or business models. In the startup world, sandboxes allow companies to experiment with minimal risk, as changes made in the sandbox do not affect live operations. Sandboxes are often used in software development, regulatory technology, and financial technology to ensure compliance and quality before full-scale deployment.

Benefits of Using a Sandbox

• Risk Mitigation: Reduces the impact of potential errors by testing in a controlled environment.
• Compliance Testing: Allows startups to ensure regulatory requirements are met before product launch.
• Feature Validation: Enables thorough testing and user feedback before full deployment.
