Boat pairs free snapshots with safer billing

Boat’s strongest differentiator is operational resilience, not just cheap compute: agents can keep working without turning snapshot failures into silent data-loss or runaway-billing events.

• –Full VMs support Docker, browsers, systemd, SSH, and long-running agent workloads.
• –Automatic snapshots make stop/resume and fast environment forking practical.
• –The 30-minute billing safeguard aligns Boat’s incentives with customers during infrastructure failures.
• –Developers should still distinguish automatic snapshots from separately retained, named snapshots, which may have different storage terms.
• –EU-only regions and a $20 monthly minimum remain meaningful adoption constraints.
