Gitpod is a developer platform that provides on-demand, pre-configured cloud development environments (CDEs) that automatically integrate into any tool, library, or dependency required for creating software. Getting started with Gitpod simply requires adding a .gitpod.yml file to the root of any repository or prefix any GitLab, GitHub or Bitbucket URL with gitpod.io/#. Gitpod CDEs are best for organizations that are looking to drastically cut onboarding time for developers, increase the productivity of their teams or secure their development supply chains. Gitpod CDEs are available in two deployments: Dedicated and Cloud. Gitpod Dedicated is hosted within your VPC and managed by Gitpod, enabling maximum security with minimal overhead. Gitpod Cloud is managed and hosted by Gitpod and is best for any teams that want to get started with zero installation and have less security or compliance requirements.
