Gitpod now supports multiple region-aware environment classes per project

We’re excited to announce that Gitpod now supports Multiple environment classes for a project, a highly requested feature that enhances reliability and flexibility for organizations.

With this new feature, you can:

• Configure up to 30 environment classes per project, providing built-in regional redundancy
• Set a default environment class while offering alternatives for user selection
• Avoid creating multiple projects for the same repository across different regions
• Benefit from automatic fallback options when a preferred environment class is unavailable

Highlights:

• Enhanced Resilience: Eliminate single points of failure with multiple region support in a single project
• User Flexibility: Users can select their preferred environment class through an intuitive UI
• Intelligent Fallback: When a selected environment class is unavailable, users receive informative error messages and alternative options
• Preference Persistence: The system remembers user preferences for future project launches
• Simplified Project Management: Reduce project proliferation by consolidating multi-region support
