Gitpod provides a cloud developer environment to run most kinds of web applications on the browser without worrying about the infrastructure. Gitpod can also be highly customised and comes with an IDE. There are powerful machines provided by Gitpod and with most necessary tools preinstalled. The environment creation time is quick and very cost effective. Gitpod also allows to save environment in case it is customised and is required to be persisted. Gitpod can also be integrated with local Visual Studio Code, allowing to work on the local IDE but with a remote environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of stateful environments is an inconvenience at times i.e, you will need to install global dependencies each time your environment times out even though it is not deleted. The terminal behaves abnormally at times. It would be great to see workspaces from another git provider when logged in from a git provider i.e, we cannot see workspaces from GitLab when logged in through GitHub, makes it inconvenient to switch accounts frequently. Gitpod lacks Windows environment, making it futile for Windows based web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
