Developing on Containers with Dev Containers

Explore cloud-based development environments in this 32-minute conference talk by Hrittik Roy from Loft Labs. Learn how to simplify project structures using modern standards like devcontainer.json and open-source Container Development Environments (CDEs) such as DevPod. Discover the benefits of moving development environments to the cloud, including access to shared libraries, build tools, and SDKs. Understand how CDEs can reduce cognitive load for contributors, eliminate obstacles, and streamline the development process. Gain insights into DevPod's infrastructure lifecycle management and its ability to automatically suspend cloud resources for cost savings. By the end of the talk, acquire knowledge on improving local development efficiency while optimizing costs in cloud-based development environments.
