Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI-driven template workspaces, like GitHub Codespaces, but self-hosted. Works locally with Docker, but can also provision and orchestrate on top of AWS, DigitalOcean, and Fly. Can auto-generate your environment template by inspecting the project, but also supports devcontainers. Prebuilds speed up new environment creation.

Tradeoffs

Prebuilds require a public webhook, so local support is limited.
