Cloud Programming Shell Platform
Cloud Programming Shell (CPS1) is a unified platform that combines infrastructure orchestration with remote cloud development environments.
Beyond laptops
It replaces the traditional laptop-based model with remote workspaces that are standardized, secure, and reproducible, provisioned by policy and ready to use.
The problem with laptop-based development
The traditional model introduces structural constraints.
Risk areas
Security and governance
Source code and credentials on local machines increase risk and make policy enforcement difficult.
Technical limitations
Modern apps don’t fit on laptops; dependencies and services drift.
Operational inefficiency
Shared staging costs, ticket-driven provisioning, slow onboarding.
Why use the Cloud Programming Shell platform
Efficiency, security, governance, and faster delivery.
Infrastructure efficiency
Up to 80% more hardware efficiency versus traditional VDI.
Reduced risk surface
Eliminates code and credentials from local devices.
Self‑service with governance
Policy‑based provisioning without tickets.
Ready for humans and AI agents
SDKs, frameworks, and integrations preconfigured.
Instant onboarding
Days or weeks become instantly provisioned environments.
Real‑time feedback
Dynamic URLs accelerate validation and reduce rework.
The shift has already started
Development is no longer local. It has become infrastructure.
Docker 2025
According to the 2025 Docker State of Application Development Report,
64% of developers already use remote environments as their primary way of working.
Companies like Uber, Slack, LinkedIn, Meta, Pipedrive, and Shopify already operate this model with their engineering teams.
Development is no longer local. It has become infrastructure.
