Migrate from Devin to Auteryn

Switching from Devin? This guide walks you through the migration process, highlighting what stays the same and what gets better.

Migration Time: Most teams complete migration in 1-2 hours. Zero downtime required.

Why teams switch

True persistence

Devin’s environments reset. Auteryn sandboxes survive restarts with automatic snapshots.

Event-driven

Respond to webhooks, GitHub issues, Jira tickets automatically. Not just manual triggers.

Better pricing

Start free, scale affordably — Auteryn has a free tier and Pro at $29/month.

Broader use cases

Customer-facing agents, flows, knowledge, and content generation — not just coding.

Migration process

Export from Devin
- Document your agent’s instructions/prompts
- Export any custom code or scripts
- List integrations and tools used
- Save example conversations
Create Auteryn Account

Sign up free - no credit card required
Recreate Your Agent
- Use similar instructions (we’ll optimize them)
- Connect the same tools and integrations
- Set up knowledge collections
- Configure deployment channels
Test Thoroughly
- Run the same test cases you used with Devin
- Compare outputs and behavior
- Refine instructions if needed
Deploy
- Start with parallel deployment (both running)
- Gradually shift traffic to Auteryn
- Monitor performance
- Decommission Devin when confident

Total Time: 1-2 hours for most agents

Translating Devin concepts

Instructions/prompts

Devin and Auteryn both use natural language instructions.

Devin Format
Auteryn Format

You're a coding agent. Review PRs, suggest improvements,
and ensure code quality. Focus on security and performance.

You are a code review specialist with expertise in
security and performance optimization.

Your responsibilities:
1. Review pull requests for code quality
2. Identify security vulnerabilities
3. Suggest performance improvements
4. Ensure tests are comprehensive

Communication style: Technical but constructive

Key Difference: Auteryn instructions are more structured. Use our instruction framework for best results.

Saving and resuming state

Devin: Manual checkpoints you create during execution

Auteryn: Each agent has one persistent sandbox session (per org) that is reused across runs — workspace files and environment state carry over. The sandbox is snapshotted so it can be restored after a container restart. Snapshotting is handled by the platform; there is no user-facing snapshot SDK.

Tools & integrations

Most tools work the same way:

Tool	Devin	Auteryn	Migration Notes
GitHub	✅	✅	Same OAuth flow
Jira	✅	✅	Same API integration
Slack	✅	✅	Same bot setup
Terminal	✅	✅	Same commands work
Browser	✅	✅	Same automation APIs

What gets better

1. Persistent Sandboxes

Devin: Environments reset between sessions. You lose state.

Auteryn: One sandbox session per agent, reused across runs. Workspace files persist; snapshots support restore after restarts.

# Files under /workspace carry over between runs
# Installed packages and config persist in the session
# Snapshot restore available after container restart

2. Event-Driven Automation

Devin: Manual triggering only

Auteryn: Respond to events automatically with Flows. You configure a Flow in the console — pick a trigger (incoming webhook, GitHub event, Slack message, inbound email, a messaging channel, or a cron schedule) and the agent it should run. For example, a Flow on pull_request.opened can run a code-reviewer agent on every new PR.

You can also kick off work programmatically: POST /api/run streams a run, and POST /api/run/async queues a background run and returns task/run IDs to poll. Long-running work continues in the background rather than blocking the caller.

3. Flows and channels

Devin: Manual triggering only

Auteryn: Event flows for GitHub, Slack, email, webhooks, and cron schedules; customer channels via Telegram, WhatsApp, and web widget

Learn from the agent’s approach

4. Knowledge

Devin: Basic context from files

Auteryn: Deep multi-source knowledge

Connect Notion, Confluence, Google Drive
Auto-sync on changes
Semantic search across all sources
Version history and rollback

Migration checklist

Before migration

Document current Devin agent configuration
Export custom code and scripts
List all integrations and API keys
Save example test cases
Note any custom workflows

During migration

Create Auteryn account
Set up agent with similar instructions
Connect tools and integrations
Configure knowledge collections
Test with saved examples
Refine based on results

After migration

Common questions

Will my code work the same way?

Yes. Both use standard Linux environments. Your scripts, commands, and code will work identically.

What about my GitHub integration?

Same OAuth flow. Reconnect in Auteryn and you’re set. Takes 2 minutes.

Can I migrate gradually?

Absolutely. Run both in parallel, shift traffic gradually, decommission Devin when ready.
