Integrated Development Environments (IDE) usually are one size fits one cloud, but the developers of https://hub.docker.com/r/codercom/code-server are betting that developers choose their new multicloud, multicompute IDE platform. It’s built on common development interfaces (SSH) and leverages open source https://www.terraform.io/ on the back end to handle the provisioning, allowing developers to run a cloud IDE on any compute platform — including on-premise data centers, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Kubernetes and Docker.

(which runs only on AWS) as examples of IDEs that are restricted by cloud providers. “Historically, cloud IDEs have been restricted to both one type of compute and one type of IDE,” Bandukwala told The New Stack.

“With an easier path to development environments, teams can easily contribute to each other’s codebases,” Palantir reported.
