Remote Development in the Cloud with Gitpod & OpenVSCode Server with Sven Efftinge

Oct 27, 2021 by SED

One of the most painful parts of getting started on a new development team is getting one’s environment set up. Whether it’s undocumented steps, overly complex setups, or simply the challenges of understanding how the pieces fit together, getting a dev environment up often feels like a chore to be suffered through in order to do what I want: contribute to the codebase.

Gitpod seeks to solve these and other common challenges. With Gitpod, you can spin up fresh, automated dev environments, in the cloud, in seconds. In this episode, I interview Sven Efftinge, CEO of Gitpod.
