Sphere Engine is a set of APIs and software components that enable creating coding assessment solutions and online code execution environments.

Sphere Engine allows for remote execution of computer programs in a secure run-time environment. Programs can be executed in one of many supported programming languages, including C++, C#, Go, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala or Swift.

Sphere Engine can be used in many areas, including:

• Education (learning to program),
• E-learning courses (interactive examples and exercises),
• Internal training,
• Recruitment (verification of IT skills),
• Software documentation and SDKs,
• Competitive programming,
• Hackathons and programming contests,
• Other applications that require a run-time environment.
