Code on lightning fast
production-like environments
Nimbus lets your team manage and code on EC2 and other cloud VMs. Environments are always perfectly configured and ready to go. This means more coding and less waiting and configuring.
Consistent environments.
Scaled infinitely.
Nimbus delivers a pre-configured dev machine ready for code. Scale from 1 to 100 engineers overnight without any additional dev environment set up.
No more “it doesn't work on my machine” and outdated set up docs.
Cut wait times with unlimited power
Decouple computing power from the device; code comfortably from your parents netbook from 2010
End environment set up & maintenance
Just click and code. Get rid of boring and tedious set up and maintenance of development environments
Secure developer endpoints
Build using native editors and IDEs while keeping code secure in the cloud

FAQs
Nimbus takes your project development environments and puts them on the cloud so everyone can work in a fast and consistent manner. This means less configuration, troubleshooting, maintenance, etc.
Get ready for a long answer...
Development environments are a workspace that acts as a layer of abstraction to automatically handle everything needed to make code into its end product - like source code, runtime, compilers, debuggers and more. Development environments are used to give programmers a safe space to work with control and flexibility.
This safe space is a necessity but problematic. They sit on a programmer’s laptop (i.e. local), so they drain your battery and make them run hot and loud. It also introduces risk to the code base because the most vulnerable part of development is the programmer endpoint. It’s also a pain to maintain - development environments take time to set up and maintain as complexity evolves, docs become outdated, knowledge leaves the team, and the team grows. There are also inherent software decay and versioning issues (e.g. package X is updated but not package Y) that further complicate this.
Nimbus handles the preparation, replication, delivery and access control of dev environments. We do the heavy lifting of making dev environments accessible and scalable. Developers typically access these environments through an editor extension, SSH, or a lightweight integration at a project, team or company level.
Honestly, it’s hard to say. Some companies will build out something similar to get similar benefits. We’ve found engineers want to build new and innovative solutions to their most pressing challenges resulting in less optimal in-house solutions. Reach out to compare and make an informed decision.
It takes no longer to set up Nimbus than it does to set up one machine. However, once Nimbus is set up, that environment can now be deployed to an entire team.
We have some other exciting time saving set up features in development though. Stay tuned!
Currently, we have an integration into VS Code (Mac, PC, Linux) via a free extension in themarketplace.
