Summary
Envbuilder v1.0 is an open-source project that enables developers to customize their environments using Dev Containers. It allows users to define their own dependencies and environments, breaking through barriers and scaling past thousands of daily active users. Envbuilder runs inside a small container image without requiring a Docker daemon or Docker-in-Docker setup. It is suitable for developer teams familiar with Docker and dev containers who have multiple projects with different toolchains, dependencies, or Linux distributions.
