Gitpod workspaces can be configured to use workspace classes that suit your needs. Each workspace class has different level of resources and a different billing tier. For more demanding tasks, choose a larger workspaces class. By default, the smallest workspace class is selected for all new workspaces. Available workspace classes may vary based on the installation.

​
Available Workspace Classes

Only workspace classes defined by the owner of an Organization in the Organization-level workspace class policy are viewable by members. Based on these, members can define workspace classes at the Repository-level.

​
Workspace Class Defaults

The default workspace class is Standard (up to 4 cores, up to 8GB RAM, 30GB storage).
Note: the default class can be disabled within the context of an organization or repository. This means new workspaces will start with a smaller workspace class by default. If no such class is available, a larger one will be used instead.

​
Repository level

It is useful to set a default workspace class when a repository requires more resources to reduce cognitive load from developers. You can set custom default workspace classes per Repository. Setting a repository level default acts as a “nudge” towards the preferred workspace class for that repository.

​
Select a workspace class for your workspace

You can select a workspace class directly from the Gitpod Dashboard. You can do so by clicking on the New Workspace button. Then, you will be prompted for a class besides the context URL and Editor inputs.
