Be it learning a new language or developing web apps, it’s crucial to have a good development environment for every programmer. The web-based IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) are gaining enormous popularity among developers due to convenience, ease of use, and, of course, the advanced collaboration capabilities in real-time. 

What is IDE? Integrated Development Environments (IDE) is a software application that provides basic tools required to write and test software into a single GUI (graphical user interface). This platform eliminates various hassles and allows the developers to start working on a project quickly. Right now there is numerous IDE software available online and many are suitable for coding in the cloud.

One of them is Gitpod, an open-source developer platform that automates the provisioning of ready-to-code development environments for any GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket project. 

Raised €2.5M to expand open source community

The open-source solution recently raised $3M (approx €2.5M) seed funding, marking its first fundraise after bootstrapping. The €2.5M seed round was led by Speedinvest with participation from Crane Venture Partners and Vertex Ventures US. Alongside this, the company also announced the arrival of native GitLab integration with Gitpod. 

Gitpod intends to use the funding to refine the platform for development environment automation, as well as to expand it’s open source community and relevant ecosystem partnerships. 

Launch fresh dev environment with single click

Gitpod is an open source GitOps solution that leverages the version control system as the canonical source of truth to automate everything a developer needs to start coding. Instead of wasting time waiting for tools and bunch libraries to get installed, developers can now launch fresh cloud-based dev environments with one click directly from gitlab.com. 

Also, it is going to be a part of GitLab 13.5, which will be released on October 22nd. Post the release, developers can connect their GitLab self-managed installation to gitpod.io through a new feature that allows developers to register additional Git providers.

With Gitpod’s integration into GitLab, code reviews, bug fixes, building new features, and exploring new projects becomes frictionless, while increasing development productivity, efficiency, and velocity. 

 250,000 registered developers, 100,000 organisations and more

Gitpod CEO Sven Effting, says, “We are currently helping the GitLab team to build a fully-automated Gitpod configuration for the GitLab source code. This makes contributing to the GitLab source code itself as easy as clicking a button. Once this configuration is merged, you will be able to just click on the Gitpod button of the GitLab repository, and everything will be set up for your first GitLab contribution.”

The German startup was founded by experienced developer tools experts that worked together for 10+ years creating programming languages and growing open source communities (Xtext, Theia). To date, the DevOps platform has 250,000 registered developers and is used by millions of developers across 100,000 organisations.
