Boat Shows 250-VM Agent Fleet

boat’s compelling angle is treating agent compute as a scalable fleet primitive, not merely a code-execution sandbox.

• –Full VMs support Docker, systemd, browsers, databases, and ordinary developer tooling without forcing agents into restrictive runtimes.
• –Snapshot-based forking and persistent disks make parallel agent workspaces practical for long-running tasks.
• –The 250-VM demo is an impressive orchestration and cost signal, but it remains a vendor demonstration rather than independent evidence of sustained capacity or reliability.
• –Per-second billing and free stopped sandboxes create a strong economic advantage for bursty workloads. [Pricing and comparison](https://boat.dev/compare)
• –EU-only hosting is the main current constraint for teams with regional, latency, or compliance requirements. [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/boat)
