## Summary

Sourcegraph introduces boxes in Amp, always-on virtual machines where users deploy applications built with Amp, each with its own URL and an agent running on the box. The smallest box, b1.tiny, costs $18 per 30 days always on, and boxes are billed by the minute and can be scheduled to turn on and off to save money.
