Meet Bob and Alice
Let’s have a closer look on how desktop and cloud development differentiate.
Bob
works locally
Needs to manually configure each project. This includes:
- Installing development tools
- Cloning Git repos
- Installing dependencies
- Upgrade tools & dependencies
- etc.
Alice
works in the cloud
Ready within seconds when working in the cloud
As Alice automates the configuration setup by using Gitpod she is ready-to-code within seconds, while it can take up to days for Bob.
