Boat Sandboxes Ships Convex Component
Boat Sandboxes now integrates with Convex through `@boatdev/convex`, giving each user, job, or agent a persistent Ubuntu VM with files, browser access, code execution, previews, and coding-agent support. Convex handles sandbox state reactively, eliminating polling while keeping Boat credentials server-side.
// ANALYSIS
This is a strong pairing: Convex becomes the reactive control plane for stateful agent workspaces, while Boat supplies the full cloud computer agents increasingly need.
- –Persistent VMs support browser tasks, files, Docker, databases, and long-running processes beyond typical ephemeral sandboxes
- –Convex queries expose provisioning and lifecycle changes live, making user-facing agent products easier to build
- –Idempotent create and fork operations reduce duplicate provisioning and billing risks during retries
- –Claude Code and Codex support makes the component immediately relevant to agent orchestration workflows
- –Full VMs add isolation and credential-management responsibilities; multi-tenant apps should carefully use `noEnv` and derive ownership from authenticated server context
