summary
Claims that 60% of cloud workloads will use Container Development Environments, and shows an open‑source tool with ~8,600 stars, devpod.sh, that runs devcontainer.json workspaces on GCP, Docker or Kubernetes providers, supports VS Code/JetBrains/Cursor, forwards SSH/GPG/Docker creds, accepts custom Dockerfiles and images, and uses prebuilds to reduce startup time. It manages VMs or clusters with an inactivity timeout to suspend resources, and reports roughly 5–10% cost savings versus comparable workspace solutions.
