In this video, I compare 10 cloud-based developer environments from login to compiled code preview in the browser and find out, which tool is the fastest!
Testing Criteria
- one attempt
- same GitHub repository, the Next.js starter code
- login/signup to tool
- make 1 change to the codebase
- compile and preview code in browser
Winners ✨🏆
(in ascending order)
Unfortunately, with the following tools I ran into errors and could not complete the challenge:
Sourcelair, Glitch, and Codetasty
The remaining 7 contestants are in the following order:
- 🥇 ??? come on, of course
- 🥈 ??? I'm going to make it exciting
- 🥉 Stackblitz
- Replit
- AWS Cloud9
- Codeanywhere
- goormIDE
I want to reiterate that this was by no means a scientific experiment. This video is only meant to give an impression of the first developer experience for each service. Once you are signed up or logged in to your favorite service, the speed might of course differ.
