- Self-Hosting: Run CDEs in your cloud or on-premise infrastructure for enhanced control and security.
- Infrastructure as Code: Define and provision development environments using Terraform.
- AI Coding Agent Support: Provides secure boundaries and context-rich environments for AI coding agents.
- IDE Support: Integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, and other IDEs via SSH.
- Cost Reduction: Automatically shuts down unused resources to minimize cloud expenses.
- Secure Access: Decouples developer workspaces from local machines, enhancing security for third-party developers and contractors.
