Open developer workspaces

Your workspace.
Anywhere you build.

Desktop app or CLI. Build from devcontainer.json, run on your infrastructure, and connect with your editor.

One definition. More ways to work.

Keep your development setup in the repository. Choose the infrastructure and editor that fit the work.

Definition

A toolchain your team can share

Define tools, dependencies, and setup commands in devcontainer.json. Create workspaces from the same versioned configuration.

Infrastructure

Choose where the work runs

Use local containers, an SSH host, Kubernetes, or a cloud machine. Providers handle the backend, and you can write one for your own platform.

Editor

Keep the editor you know

Connect VS Code, Cursor, Zed, or a JetBrains IDE to your workspace. SSH access also works with other remote development tools.

Lifecycle

Build ahead. Stop when idle.

Publish prebuilds for complex environments. Configure inactivity timeouts to stop idle workspaces using your provider's lifecycle controls.

Give agents a workspace, too.

Run coding tools in a dedicated development environment, using the same workspace definition as your team.

Share the setup

Create separate workspaces from your repository's devcontainer.json, with the tools and dependencies your coding tasks need.

Configure access

Choose which credentials to forward and review the workspace configuration. Code inside a workspace can use the access you grant it.

Credential controls

Manage the lifecycle

Start, stop, recreate, or delete workspaces from the desktop app or CLI. Choose a provider that fits the resources and isolation your task needs.

Workspaces run where your work does

Choose a provider for local containers, shared infrastructure, or a cloud machine. Your repository keeps the workspace definition.

From definition to running workspace

Devsy connects each developer's local IDE to the infrastructure where work runs.

1

Define once

Commit a devcontainer.json alongside your source. It describes the tools and dependencies your whole team shares.

2

Pick a provider

Add Docker for local work, or configure a provider for Kubernetes, a cloud machine, or an SSH host.

3

Connect and build

Start a workspace from your repository and open it in your editor. Devsy manages the connection to the environment.

Try the Node.js devcontainer example with local Docker and VS Code:

devsy provider add docker
devsy workspace up github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-try-node --ide vscode
Follow the quickstart
Services

Work with the team behind Devsy

Get hands-on help to standardize your development environments, from a focused audit to a full rollout and ongoing support.

Dev environment audit

A focused review of how your team onboards and runs environments. You get a scored assessment, a ranked list of your top bottlenecks, and a working, standardized devcontainer for one repository. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Implementation and rollout

We set up Devsy and devcontainers across your repositories. You get standardized toolchains, prebuilds, and local-to-CI parity, so every engineer ships from day zero.

Support and migration

Migrating off an abandoned tool, or want a maintained platform you can rely on? Get ongoing support, upgrades, and hands-on migration help.
