from a pure software development perspective, the goal is to not just code in the cloud, but to also get a plethora of benefits around having dependent cloud resources, sampled message queues/databases, etc alongside these ephemeral dev environments
we're still in closed-beta but would love for folks to try it out and provide us some feedback: www.devzero.io
How can i connect a licence dongle to this "Cloud Workstation" ?
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 environments be able to consume helm charts etc to create production-like environments but the overall sprawl around the variety of cloud-hosted or other SaaS products that are used in applications nowadays makes that quite hard - imo would be really nice to have a dev-tenancy variant for things like MongoDB, Datadog, etc
