With a single click, Gitpod provides automated and standardized development environments fully configured with the necessary tools and dependencies, helping 1.7 million developers worldwide ship software faster. A new SaaS offering is launching this summer, allowing users to access powerful development environments that exceed laptop performance with free-tier and pay-as-you-go options using Gitpod-hosted compute. This deployment option offers maximum flexibility, enabling users to run standardized environments on their computer, use Gitpod as a SaaS offering, or self-host in their VPC for maximum security and compliance. When using Gitpod as a SaaS offering, users gain instant access and simple setup, powerful compute resources that outperform laptops, including GPUs, and enhanced security of source code and data by reducing the attack surface and exfiltration risks.
