boat.dev agent sandboxes: Linux VMs from $0.018/hr with resize on resume
cem2ran · x · 2026-09-24
- A developer discusses boat.dev, an agent sandbox platform: every sandbox is a Linux VM with pre-installed tools, ready over SSH.
- Four hourly tiers: small ($0.018, 2 vCPU/4GB), default ($0.036, 4 vCPU/8GB), large ($0.072, 8 vCPU/16GB), xlarge ($0.20, 16 vCPU/32GB, on request).
- Sizes can be changed via --type on resume or fork at no extra cost; sandboxes are creatable via curl/TypeScript/Python APIs.
