Built for CI you can trust

A new VM for every job

Smyrg starts a new Boat VM for each job and removes it when the job ends. No VM runs a second job, so no state moves between builds.

Your compute, your bill

Boat bills your own wallet per second. The Smyrg subscription pays for job coordination only. Your Boat key never goes into a runner VM.

Runner images tested in the PR

Add .smyrg/image.yml and a setup script. The PR builds the image and its CI uses it. Merging makes it active. A failed build keeps your last good image. Read the image guide ↗
