Codenvy
today made available its next-generation developer workspaces for
organizations that apply agile methodologies to software development.
"Codenvy is the first enterprise offering based on Eclipse
Che that empowers anyone, anywhere to contribute to any project without
having to install software," said Tyler Jewell, Codenvy CEO and Eclipse
Che project lead. "We have made it possible to launch developer
workspaces, on-demand, from within Microsoft, Atlassian and Jenkins
development solutions. This allows developers, product managers and
users to contribute and collaborate on code in a way that makes agile
development continuous."
Codenvy combines runtimes, projects and an integrated
development environment (IDE) into a portable universal workspace that
solves the configuration and sharing challenges created by localhost
developer workspaces. Codenvy's portable workspaces run in lightweight
Docker containers, providing instant startup and the elastic scalability
needed to build and run millions of workspaces. Workspaces are easily
accessible via a browser, removing the need for development teams to
create, maintain and manage development environments.
Eclipse Che and Codenvy are installed in thousands of
environments and organizations around the world. The all-new Codenvy
takes this proven scale and performance to the enterprise with new
features that include:
- Eclipse Che universal workspaces: Project
source code, configuration and runtimes are stored and versioned
together, allowing developers anywhere to immediately contribute to the
project without installing software.
- Private installation: Codenvy can be installed
behind a firewall or in a virtual private cloud for enterprise control.
Installations can be self-hosted and managed, or hosted and managed by
the Codenvy services team.
- Integration with the agile toolchain and processes:
On-demand developer workspaces are made available through links in
Atlassian JIRA and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services, enabling
in-context feedback and rapid development.
- SSH to integrate any IDE: Although Codenvy ships
with an advanced browser IDE, its universal workspaces are accessible
from any machine and editor via Secure Shell (SSH).
- Docker Swarm clusters for running millions of workspaces:
Codenvy workspaces are run in lightweight Docker containers. Codenvy
manages the workspace lifecycle and scaling using Docker Swarm, allowing
organizations to seamlessly add any number of projects and developers.
- Fair Source 5 licensing: A derivative of the Fair Source License
by Sourcegraph, the Codenvy Fair Source License lets up to five users
from an organization to view, download, execute and modify the code free
of charge.
