Gitpod

What's next on your platform engineering team roadmap? Are you evaluating internal developer portals like Backstage? Maybe considering a re-platforming effort to shift to Kubernetes? There's been a lot of buzz around platform engineering recently. And we know how overwhelming it can feel! How do you strategize on where to go next? How do you know the value of initiatives? When is the right time to invest? Luckily for us though, the CNCF has us covered. The CNCF recently released a detailed 'platform engineering maturity model' that is being used by companies and leaders around the world to strategize exactly on the 'what next' for their platform engineering teams or initiatives. That's why we're excited to partner with the creators of the maturity model to do a deep dive! Sessions will cover each dimension from platform adoption, to interfaces, and down to operations so you have the clarity on where to go next. We are excited to kick off the series on May the 15th with Abby Bangser, the original lead of the working group. Abby has many inspiring stories and gotchas to share from the research the CNCF conducted into high-performing platform teams, we're confident that some of the research will surprise you! The sign up link is in the comments—we look forward to seeing you ! 👋

Have you been wondering if a CDE like Gitpod could work for you? Join us on the 6th and we'll answer all your questions !

"Will Gitpod work for us? We have [insert strict security requirement]” This is a question I'm often asked at events or conferences. The short answer is: yes. Gitpod is trusted by over 1.5 million developers including some of the largest financial institutions in the world. On November 6th I'll speak with Christian Weichel (CTO of Gitpod) for a demo of the recently announced Gitpod Flex and also do a deep-dive into the architecture and security model behind it. In the session we’ll cover how Gitpod is: 1. Securely self-hosted with flexible networking 2. Has minimal operational overhead 3. Enables zero-trust with full audit logs 4. Can be deployed in many regions And all of this deployed in 3 minutes. Join us on the 6th to learn how.

Our most requested feature for 2024? Dev Container support. Dev Containers are the foundation to describe base images, tools, and extensions for development environments. Gitpod Flex uses it as the foundation for all development environments. Read the full write-up: https://lnkd.in/e3cJQX4P

Zero-trust is not just a buzzword. It’s about creating an environment (pun intended) that follows ‘never trust, always verify’ principles. Gitpod Flex’s development environments provide features like: -isolation of source code, secrets, and internal network access (they never leave your network perimeter)  -granular identity and access – every action requires explicit authorization  -advanced encryption using industry-standard implementations like libsodium -full control over your networking -comprehensive audit logs -data sovereignty and compliance – deploy environments across any region or availability zone Read the full write-up: https://lnkd.in/eM89U99F

Gitpod Desktop is the fastest and easiest way to run and recreate cloud development environments on your laptop, offering a one-click setup and cloud-like consistency. Read the full write-up: https://lnkd.in/e8PQKCuy

When it comes to a cloud development environment, it's essential to know what actors in your system perform which actions. With Gitpod Flex, every interaction is authenticated with a granular identity, enabling thorough incident investigation, quick threat detection, and compliance.

We thought too small about development environments. Tomorrow, we're launching our Act 2.
