We mentioned this already a couple of times: in retrospect the second half of 2021 will mark the tipping point for remote, cloud-based development.

With VS Code remote and Jetbrains’ remote development support, more than 80% of developers will use an IDE with built-in functionality to connect to developer environments running in the cloud.

Gitpod provisions and orchestrates remote developer environments enabling you to develop from anywhere (even from an iPad traversing Australia 🏕). Today, all of this gets even more connected & secure. We are excited to announce a partnership with our friends at Tailscale. Secure, ephemeral developer environments as part of your private network.

Tailscale is built on top of the point-to-point open-source WireGuard protocol which powers an encrypted mesh network or ‘tailnet’ that directly connects your developer environment to your resources as well as your colleagues’ developer environments. We have been big fans of the product for quite some time.

You can now automatically and securely connect your Gitpod workspace to other development resources, whether in the cloud or on prem, such as a production database behind your company’s firewall. You can also spin up several Gitpod workspaces that can talk to each other.
