Cloud-based development for everyone

GitHub Codespaces and Gitpod are working together to improve the developer experience with ephemeral, cloud-based developer environments. This approach is expected to become the standard by 2023, similar to how continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) has evolved today. The adoption of container-based dev environments in the cloud will help address issues such as multi-track development, local machine limits, security concerns, consistency problems, onboarding challenges, and remote work scenarios. Gitpod's free tier is now available to every developer with a GitLab, GitHub, and/or Bitbucket account, offering access to both public and private repositories for 50 hours per month.
