Notes from building boat: sandbox benchmarks, infrastructure decisions, and what coding agents actually do inside their machines.
Build an Issue-to-PR Software Factory on boat
OpenFactory turns GitHub, Linear, and Sentry issues into planned, tested, independently reviewed pull requests. Learn how to deploy and customize the pipeline on boat.
Containers vs VMs: why your agent sandbox should be a real machine
AI agents run untrusted code, need Docker, and keep long-lived state. A look at where container sandboxes break down, how microVM sandboxes compare, and why boat gives every agent a full VM.
Benchmarking Five Sandbox Providers with a Devin-Style Agent Build
A boat-funded study, run in June 2026: a coding agent built a Devin clone on boat, E2B, Daytona, exe, and Islo. Build costs, times, error rates, and which sandbox lifecycles worked.
