Monaco Code Execution Engine

Monaco is a secure, containerized code execution engine that allows you to run code in multiple programming languages through a simple REST API.

Features

• Multi-language support: Run code in Python, Java, C, and C++
• Secure execution: All code runs in isolated Docker containers
• Resource limits: Memory, CPU, and file descriptor limits to prevent abuse
• Concurrent processing: Efficient job queue for handling multiple requests
• Simple REST API: Easy to integrate with any frontend

Architecture

Monaco consists of several components:

• HTTP Handlers (handler/handler.go): Processes API requests
• Execution Service (service/execution.go): Manages code execution in containers
• Job Queue (queue/queue.go): Handles concurrent execution of code submissions
• Submission Model (model/submission.go): Defines the data structure for code submissions

Requirements

• Go 1.22.3 or higher
• Docker
• Network connectivity for container image pulling
