In this post we outline why Dev Containers, Devfile, Nix and Devbox by Jetpack are NOT CDEs.

Most content about CDEs is focused on the benefits of CDEs and either doesn’t really explain how CDEs work, or only touches on the subject superficially. In this blog post, I want to provide a no-bullshit overview of the architecture of CDEs and common patterns on how CDE products work.

In the first part of this 3 part article series you will learn about the challenges when running a few services on the laptop of developers and others remotely.

Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) are a new product category.

In this article, we will explain the most common architecture and features of CDEs, and what makes Cloudomation DevStack special.

In 2010, companies started to tinker with the idea of Cloud Development Environments (CDEs). Ten years later, there’s been a sudden explosion of new CDE products. With so many new products on the market, it’s becoming difficult to understand the differences between them. The new whitepaper “Full list of CDE vendors (+ feature comparison table)” sheds light on the differences and nuances, enables you to compare all the vendors and to get a detailed and precise overview of the market.

Or why governance is crucial to realising the value of automation, with practical tips on setting up a good governance framework.

Cloud Development Environments are trending. But is the term actually well chosen? And what other terms are used to describe this technology? Lets take a look at all the terms, acronyms and why it is important to define the term CDE.
