boat Tackles CPU Steal, Rebuilds Snapshots

boat’s team says 300% week-over-week growth is causing CPU contention in its AI-agent sandboxes, while Kirill rebuilds the snapshot system to address the issue. The company also offers refunds when tests fail to meet expectations.

// ANALYSIS

This candid reliability update highlights the hardest part of cheap agent infrastructure: scaling capacity without undermining performance claims.

–CPU contention can make agent latency and build-test benchmarks inconsistent.
–A stronger snapshot system could improve recovery, forking, and repeatability.
–Refunds reduce trial risk, but transparent capacity and steal-time metrics would build more trust.
–As competitors like Modal, E2B, and Daytona mature, reliability may matter as much as price.
