What are some of the competitors in this space? - Gitpod, a SaaS competitor to Codespaces. http://gitpod.io - Coder, which I guess is the more enterprisey self-hosted Codespaces alternative? https://coder.com - This project, Devpod, seems to be a polished experience but not centralized like Coder. - I recently stumbled upon Recode, which looks like a more indie take on the problem. https://github.com/recode-sh/cli

https://www.daytona.io is currently in stealth preparing to launch. You could grab early access by joining the waitlist.

What's its difference?

It's not a direct competitor, but we use https://tilt.dev/ at my company for local and remote development.

I looked at this about a week ago and think it has potential. One thing I dislike, and it's an industry wide problem, is the eagerness to continuously (re)build containers on demand [1]. Everyone does it, but I think that's a mistake. What I want is something where I can build and publish a dev container to my local Docker registry and then use that container to develop until I decide I need to build an updated versi…

Have you looked into distrobox? I’m using it now for my dev environment running on top of an immutable OS (microos).

It’s not perfect but I never have to spin the container down.

Coder’s big difference is that it uses Terraform for provisioning, so it can do Docker/Kubernetes as well as VMs

Microsoft has DevBox but it’s not clear where that fits around Codespaces?
