Gitpod Customer Stories

Develop like Google, Facebook or Shopify

What big tech companies are trying to build internally, Gitpod is bringing to the rest of the world: container-based development in the cloud.

Multi track development with ease

You can have multiple workspaces with different contexts open at once - one for your feature, one for a bug or one for your code review directly in Gitpod.

Collaborate with ease

Share running workspaces for pair programming, use port forwarding or share a snapshot as a copy of your workspace with teammates.

Code anywhere, on any device

No need for over powered laptops - a chrome book and even iPads work just as fine. And if you adopt a remote work policy one day, then you don't have to worry about source code security.
