Codenvy and Microsoft streamline the developer workspace
Developers often work on portions of a project in isolation, which can lead to problems when the time comes to put everything together as a whole.
Now Codenvy and Microsoft are collaborating to modernize the way organizations build software by connecting developer workspaces with enterprise developer tools for a continuous, agile experience.
A new Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services extension activates Codenvy workspaces on-demand from within Microsoft products, creating a more natural workflow that aligns with today's agile methodologies and principles.
"We are excited about this partnership, and our role in helping shape the future of agile development," says Shanku Niyogi, general manager, Developer Division at Microsoft. "By attaching ready-to-code Codenvy workspaces to Visual Studio Team Services, we continue to improve our partner ecosystem and provide development teams with comprehensive solutions for developing any application".
At the same time the Eclipse Foundation is launching its new integrated development environment (IDE), Eclipse Che. Supported by Codenvy, Microsoft, Red Hat, and SAP, Eclipse Che is the only community-driven open source cloud IDE, workspace server, and plug-in platform.
"Eclipse Che is moving development forward with a universal workspace," says Tyler Jewell, Eclipse Che project lead and Codenvy CEO. "By making workspaces portable, they can relocate anywhere, giving development teams on-demand environments that can be part of an agile process".
Eclipse Che workspaces are composed of projects and Docker-powered runtimes. Workspaces are accessible any time via browsers, CLI and APIs. Their portable nature means development can migrate to any location, whether desktop, mobile device or cloud.
Eclipse Che is available for download now and you can find out more about Codenvy workspaces on the company's website.
