Tell me if this ...

Isn't this what docker is for? Allowing you to control the env in a container then the local copy matches the remote because it is the same container
Your solution sounds like devs would be forced to use your web IDE?
Hi Todd, so Docker definitely solves the issue for a lot of use cases, though for certain apps when it can’t sufficiently be tested locally(ie Shopify Apps, Slack Bots, or Game Servers), Docker can only get you so far. Not to mention what happens when you have to debug Docker…
And as for your question about the IDE, we’re working on a VSCode extension to allow people who prefer their local IDE to get the full power of Codesphere without being locked-in!
A nice funnel for that VC money 💸💰🤣
You should do both. The constraints of local dev can uncover poor design and complexity.
Avoiding that pain can cause more for others.
Also for tracing remote bugs, APN and 12-factor services (with logging) can help you trace. It is always more of a pain remotely troubleshooting though.
Hi Lewis, the idea behind what we’re building is to add all the benefits of a local test environment to a live test environment so you can get the best of both worlds!
I test on a very underpowered local kubernetes cluster that mirrors my production environment (in every way but # of nodes). Best of both worlds.
My company could really use something like this! Great concept, excited to see it in action!
I'm the head of our QA dept and what I'd give to stop hearing, "Well, it worked for me locally.. "
Hey Sal, I am the part of the product team building Codesphere, you sound like just the kind of person Im looking to talk to. Maybe we can jump on a call sometime?
Thank you! Feel free to try us out, we would love to hear your feedback :)
while local testing has its place, relying solely on it can hinder progress and slow down your development cycle. It's often more efficient to shift towards collaborative, cloud-based solutions that accelerate testing and integrate seamlessly with the overall development workflow. www fairplay24.in
