Last week I attended the https://shift.infobip.com/ developer conference, in the lovely coastal city of Zadar, Croatia. The Shift Conference was started in 2012 by https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanburazin/ and acquired in January 2021 by Croatian API company Infobip.
I sat down with Burazin at the conference to discuss its backstory, along with the latest trends in cloud development.
Several years after that, he decided to pivot it into a developer conference as a way to help promote Codeanywhere.
In a nutshell, modern Cloud IDEs are no longer simply online code editors, but services that offer infrastructure too — what Burazin called “instant developer environments.”
