Acorn is an app platform that makes it easy to build, share, and run containerized applications. Acorn provides a comprehensive way to describe your application and dependencies in a single file called an Acornfile. The Acornfile is built and packaged up into a single artifact that contains everything needed to deploy your application and can be shared with a link that will allow it's recipients to have a one-click deployment into a sandbox environment. Acorn Sandboxes are free compute environments in the cloud for anyone with a GitHub account to run, test, and develop Acorns. Sandboxes can be used as often as you like to run Acorns for up to 2 hours at a time. Sandbox environments allow for consuming up to 4GB of ram and up to 10GB of storage space. Acorns launched in the sandbox environment can be accessed via a public URL with SSL. The Acorns running in the Sandbox can be interacted with via the Acorn CLI or through the UI.
