AI Cloud IDEs / Browser Dev Environments

Eclipse Che is an open-source Kubernetes-native cloud IDE and developer workspace platform. It helps teams run browser-based, containerized development environments on Kubernetes or OpenShift using devfiles and workspace-as-code patterns.

Codeanywhere is an AI cloud IDE built around browser-based VS Code workspaces, terminal access, collaboration, Git repositories, dev containers, and optional GPU workspaces. Its current public site says Codeanywhere is sunsetting on July 1, 2026, so it is best treated as a legacy cloud IDE with migration planning required.

Coder is a self-hosted cloud development environment platform for secure, governed developer workspaces and AI coding agents. It lets organizations run reproducible environments on their own infrastructure using Terraform, with support for VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Jupyter, CLI, API, and agent workflows.

Daytona is secure, elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code and agent workflows in isolated sandboxes. It evolved from a cloud development environment manager into an agent-native runtime for fast, stateful, programmatic code execution.

Gitpod is now Ona, a cloud development environment platform that creates isolated, reproducible workspaces for developers and AI agents. It evolved from a browser-based CDE into a governed environment and automation layer for teams running code, agents, and development workflows in the cloud or their own VPC.

GitHub Codespaces is a cloud development environment that turns GitHub repositories into ready-to-code VS Code workspaces in the browser or desktop editor. It is strongest for teams that want reproducible dev containers, GitHub-native workflows, and fast onboarding without local setup.

CodeSandbox is a cloud development environment and sandbox platform for building, prototyping, collaborating, and running code from the browser, VS Code, or programmatic SDKs. Now part of Together AI, it is increasingly positioned as both a developer workspace and scalable code-execution infrastructure for AI agents.
