https://www.jetbrains.com/, the maker of more than 10 language-specific integrated development environments (IDEs), has teamed up with https://www.gitpod.io/, the open source platform for automated developer environments, in what they call “a long-term partnership” that will result in “a deep, technical integration between their platforms,” according to a statement. The primary form that integration will manifest in, at least immediately, is in JetBrains’ many IDEs being able to use the automated, cloud-based developer environments provisioned by Gitpod. Much like how containers abstract away the individual requirements of a particular developer environment, so that code that works on one machine will work on any other machine, GitPod’s automated, cloud-based developer environments free developers from matching their environment to the one used by their company.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikhailvink/?originalSubdomain=de, a Global Marketing Programs Manager with JetBrains, said that remote development goes beyond making developers more efficient.

“Remote development workflow mitigates the risk, as developers connect their client IDE to the remote development environment where the source code is located, and no source code is copied to the developer’s machine.”
