one thing i have seen with testcontainers (been a user for a few years) is the ergonomic SDKs that they have especially in languages like golang, it makes spinning containers up/down, accessing the ports (eg: a mongodb container for s

its not necessarily about the privacy layer per se. the workflow i was ideating over is as follows: 1. spin up a production-equivalent database (eg: mysql container instead of prod RDS) 2. point a process/binary (maybe a simple contain

do you have some thoughts on how sdv-dev type projects can be used to start populating, say, a database (eg: mysql running in a container) i've looked into this space a bunch (eg: Gretel, Tonic, etc) and there doesn't seem to be a

yea - we had that too (good for understanding how laptop tooling worked, and what areas were starting to show latencies and therefore, needed to be worked on) surveys were anonymized

yea, great for small projects but no good when you're trying to expand into enterprise capabilities -- I have to get one tool for dev, have that config diverge from CI, and then from staging then i have to hire a large devops team to

This is really not true - a poor implementation shouldn't dictate the direction of the "remote development" space. Sure, IT and security have their requirements, but primary requirement is to make the developers happy and pro

see this is the problem w/ all these devtools - i need to pair together 5 different things when i just want a reproducible, ephemeral environment someone needs to bring a heroku-like experience but for cloud-native development

got some other interesting insights from the BCG post by Akash Bhatia related to the stage of the company and their cloud adoption see `Creating a Developer-Focused GTM Model` [here]( https://www.bcg.com/publications/202

We’ve thought about this quite deeply at DevZero. Yes, the iOS developer experience can be quite hampered on the local env and requires users to frequently get beefy local laptops/machines. I saw this first hand at Uber from when crowd

we’re not seeing cloud costs be too terrible at DevZero - with proper hibernation/suspension, cloud costs are ~$50-60/mo in the worst case admittedly, we target only enterprise companies where the cost of loss of dev efficiencies

fwiw, we’re solving this at DevZero with having multiple AZs - given that our platform centrally manages remote compute (hibernation etc), this is working great at making sure latencies are <20ms for users

Re: if a computer can run scripts in a pod, can’t you just run them locally? It’s a construct of the order of operations. One core issue with local is the variety of OS’ and local build tools that would fundamentally mess with the centraliz

+1 things like terraform are great for the initial setup, but there is a lack for tooling around recurring management -- although, docker does help the story for having ephemeral environments quite a bit it would be great to see developer e

we're building cloud-hosted dev environments (choice of VM, container or full k8s) that engineers can connect to using their existing tooling (keep your IDEs, environment config, etc) but code in a production-like environment from a pu
