Open-Source

Gitpod puts developers' interest first and thereby guarantees full transparency and flexibility. Integrate, don't dictate.

  • ✓ Host Gitpod yourself on GCP, AWS, Azure or self-managed Kubernetes
  • ✓ Contribute to Gitpod and build customizations yourself
  • ✓ Works just as smoothly with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket

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.
