Codespaces, Gitpod, Devpod: What cloud & container-based IDEs can do for you
summary
Compares GitHub Codespaces (hosted on Azure), Gitpod and Devpod by showing a live Spring Boot app created from Spring Initializer—a Java 21 Maven project—built and run inside cloud containers, port-forwarded and working; demonstrates Devpod launching workspaces on a local Kubernetes cluster and Codespaces/Gitpod offering browser VS Code plus IntelliJ Gateway support. Notes container-runtime benefits (no local Docker needed), ARM image incompatibilities, configurable images via devcontainer specification, and typical free allotment of 40 hours free per month.
