If you lead a development team you know that dev environments often break, causing lost productivity and delaying time-to-market.
OS differences make reproducing software issues tough, even with Docker.
Meanwhile, devices with sensitive source code and permissive network access present huge security challenges, especially in banking, telecommunications, and healthcare.
Because of these issues, organizations often resort to non-developer-friendly solutions like homegrown VMs or VDIs, compromising developer experience for security.
Imagine starting your development environment with one command, knowing it meets all security and compliance needs.
Gitpod makes this a reality.
With Gitpod’s cloud development environments, developers get pre-configured tools, libraries, and access instantly, with zero download time.
Gitpod environments are ephemeral, meaning they are short-lived.
Developers get a new environment if theirs breaks, and security teams rest easy knowing vulnerabilities are contained and destroyed with the click of a button.
Gitpod can be self-hosted and is trusted by over 1 million developers.
