Gitpod open sources to automatically spin up ready-to-code dev environments

The prebuilt development environment provider Gitpod has announced it is now open source, enabling teams to automatically spin up ready-to-code environments for GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket projects. Gitpod is a VS Code powered, Kubernetes application that works right in the browser. 

With Gitpod, developers can maintain their environments as code and turn manual tasks into machine-executable code.

“These days, developers are dealing with complex polyglot projects composed of many microservices. With such cloud-native architectures, setting up and managing dev environments becomes extremely challenging,” said Sven Efftinge, co-founder and CEO of Gitpod. “Gitpod allows developers to start coding instantly with a single click from any branch, issue, and from any merge and pull request respectively. Think CI/CD applied to 
dev environments.”

According to the company, the open-source solution is very similar to CI systems. It watches changes happening in the repository and prepares the dev environment based on those changes. For instance, it sets up tools, checks out the right git branch, compiles code, downloads dependencies and provides a ready-to-code dev environment. Key features include integrated Docker build, integrated code reviews, snapshots, and a free self-hosted version.

Other benefits include shorter lead times, no configuration “drift,” and remote collaboration, according to the company.

“In line with the pets vs. cattle analogy of the cloud-native world, we treat dev environments as automated (yet customizable) resources you can spin up when you need them and close down (and forget about) when you are done with your task. Once you experience the peace of mind of automated, ephemeral dev environments you never want to go back,” Efftinge, and Johannes Landgraf, chief commercial officer at Gitpod, wrote in a post.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
