You simply prefix your GitHub (or gitlab) url with "gitpod.io/{your-repo} and you are instantly redirected to VM with with your repo cloned and ready to use, a fully customizable dev environment, vscode, extensions, machine is public on the internet so you can "npm start" and actually start serving your site.
I haven't used GitHub in some time (using gitlab), so just wondering what are they using to run this stuff... because you'll probably need a fullyfleged container service with secret management and whatnot. Does GitHub already provide this?
Also I'm guessing the editor won't be using the same file system as the launched code, i.e. would hot reload be possible or do you have to commit and redeploy
Anyone have any ideas/speculations?
There is an amazing free alternative: https://goitpod.io You simply prefix your GitHub (or gitlab) url with "gitpod.io/{your-repo} and you are instantly redirected to VM with with your repo cloned and ready to use, a fully customizable dev environment, vscode, extensions, machine is public on the internet so you can "npm start" and actually start serving your site.

remote dev (and I guess now codespaces) is one of those "clear differentiators" that is actually getting me to move away from intellij and friends.
I wish IntelliJ moves in this direction so bad - would gladly pay more for this. I tried switching to VS Code for my current project yesterday and it's the best VS Code scenario out of my projects - backend RoR frontend React/TS. TypeScript aspect is amazing but the Rails part is nowhere close to RubyMine. .NET (Core) was inferior to any IDE (even Xamarin ones) last time I tried it (~6 months back). IntelliJ Rider ha…

Vscode has an excellent support for golang too. Python support also is good but sometimes it’s hit or miss with some native dependencies.

> If I'm not the customer, then I'm the product. I'm not sure what you mean by this, care to expand? Aren't you also the product for JetBrains, since you're one of the customers that's keeping them afloat?
Sure. The foundation of commerce is sustained relationships where value is mutually exchanged. I give you a few bucks, you give me a cheeseburger. If fix somebody's problem with a computer, they give me cash. Product for payment; value for value. When some commercial effort departs from that, it's good to be suspicious. The bills are getting paid somehow. E.g., look at network television from 1960-2000 or so. The vie…
This is an insignificant reason. People paid for cable TV and were soon shown ads. Even people who pay to see movies are shown ads before the movie and during movies via product placement. Hulu makes great shows but sells ads more highly targeted than any broadcast channels.
The biggest reason for the current golden age is that streaming services don't have to try to create the most broadly appealing content to fill the most valuable timeslots and can instead cater to each viewer's tastes directly. Breaking Bad was a great show before it got on Netflix, but it wasn't a hit until wide on-demand streaming availability helped it find its audience. Tiger King is the kind of hot garbage that would normally get an afternoon time slot on a second tier cable channel, but making it available on demand turned it into a megahit.

Having APIs designed for public consumption probably helped.
My experience with azure storage didn't make me think it was "designed"...

I think that you are wrong on VS Code Remote not being open source. Here is the relevant repository: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release . Corresponding official documentation ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview ) states that Visual Studio Codespaces is essentially a managed service of Visual Studio Code Remote Development. BTW, there is also an interesting alternative, the `cod…
That repo doesn’t have any code in it, it’s used purely for issue tracking and syncing with the VS extension repo, I believe.

I don’t remember gitlab being this cluttered, these new features you mention must be relatively new. Haven’t used them since they allowed an intern to purge the production database. Kind of glad I have stuck with github thus far.
Intern? I don't remember that detail being shared. Really!?!?
