    do you have some thoughts on how sdv-dev type projects can be used to start populating, say, a database (eg: mysql running in a container) i've looked into this space a bunch (eg: …

    yea - we had that too (good for understanding how laptop tooling worked, and what areas were starting to show latencies and therefore, needed to be worked on) surveys were anonymiz…

    This is really not true - a poor implementation shouldn't dictate the direction of the "remote development" space. Sure, IT and security have their requirements, but primary requir…

    see this is the problem w/ all these devtools - i need to pair together 5 different things when i just want a reproducible, ephemeral environment someone needs to bring a heroku-li…

    We’ve thought about this quite deeply at DevZero. Yes, the iOS developer experience can be quite hampered on the local env and requires users to frequently get beefy local laptops/…

    we’re not seeing cloud costs be too terrible at DevZero - with proper hibernation/suspension, cloud costs are ~$50-60/mo in the worst case admittedly, we target only enterprise com…

    fwiw, we’re solving this at DevZero with having multiple AZs - given that our platform centrally manages remote compute (hibernation etc), this is working great at making sure late…

    we're building cloud-hosted dev environments (choice of VM, container or full k8s) that engineers can connect to using their existing tooling (keep your IDEs, environment config, e…
