boat Adds 3x Burst Capacity for Agent VMs

boat now lets customers burst VM starts up to 3x above daily limits, while keeping full 4-vCPU, 8-GB VMs at $0.00001 per second. The change targets agent workloads that need affordable, sudden parallel capacity.

// ANALYSIS

boat’s pricing is compelling, but burst capacity is the feature that makes it practical for real agent fleets rather than just cheap experimentation.

–Full Ubuntu VMs provide more flexibility than lightweight, ephemeral sandboxes.
–Per-second billing makes short-lived agent jobs economical.
–3x bursting reduces friction for parallel builds, tests, and autonomous workflows.
–Daily start caps still signal that capacity management remains a core constraint.
–The $20 monthly minimum may matter more than the headline compute rate for smaller teams.
