Gitpod vs GitHub Codespaces
Gitpod is the faster, more resource-efficient, open-source platform that integrates with your individual stack.
We have tested Codespaces thoroughly this week, and it was more complex to configure than Gitpod, it's harder to use for students, and documentation is way worse.

After a year spent with Gitpod and Codespaces, my particular stand out choice is - Gitpod. I've found Gitpod to be more flexible, easier to start with, generally more stable, and comes with a vibrant and helpful community over on Discord.

Automation-first
Simply add your build command into a .gitpod.yml file and let Gitpod do the heavy-lifting. Once you’ve experienced the freedom of ephemeral workspaces, you’ll never want to go back to long-lived manually-maintained environments.
