What is Codeanywhere?

Codeanywhere is a cloud-based development platform that provides integrated development environments (IDEs) accessible directly from a web browser in a VSCode compatible IDE. It enables developers to write, run, and debug code in a remote environment without needing to set up or maintain their own infrastructure. Codeanywhere allows you to manage and deploy Workspaces — reproducible development environments based on standard OCI containers, with built-in support for the Dev Container standard.

By leveraging configuration files in a project’s remote Git repository, Codeanywhere builds a Workspace and provisions it for you.

  • Support for Multi-Project Workspaces

    Codeanywhere is capable of creating Workspaces with multiple projects. Large projects split into micro-services or multiple repositories can be worked on using a single Workspace.
