Gitpod Classic is set to be phased out by October 15, 2025, prompting users to migrate to the new Ona platform, which offers enhanced performance, cost savings, and modernized features. While Gitpod Enterprise customers are exempt from this deadline, other users are encouraged to switch to Ona, which provides faster environments with up to 32 cores and 128GB RAM, improved VM isolation, and substantial cost reductions. The migration involves transitioning from .gitpod.yml to devcontainer.json and automations.yml, with automated tools available to facilitate this process. Ona maintains the core one-click environment setup and integrations with GitHub and GitLab, while Bitbucket support is forthcoming. Notably, Ona introduces Ona Agents, which assist with coding tasks, potentially increasing productivity, though their use is optional and incurs no cost unless engaged. The platform's architecture is designed for reliability and speed, with regional cloud operations to optimize user experience. Users must manually migrate their accounts, project settings, and environment variables, and can benefit from a $100 credit offer during the transition. Various pricing tiers are available, including a free tier and a Core tier, which is the recommended option for most users transitioning from Gitpod Classic.
