Codesphere

Codesphere is a cloud development platform that enables teams to build, run, and scale applications directly from their browser. It combines an online IDE, container-based infrastructure, and automated deployment into a single environment, removing the need for complex local setups or separate DevOps tooling. Its primary purpose is to streamline the entire software development lifecycle, from coding and testing to staging and production operations, in one integrated workspace.

Codesphere provides full Linux containers for each workspace, allowing developers to run real backend services, databases, and microservices with production-like behavior. It supports automatic deployments from Git repositories, built-in CI/CD pipelines, and environment cloning, making it easy to spin up preview environments for feature branches or client demos. Resource scaling, load balancing, and monitoring are handled by the platform, so teams can focus on application logic rather than infrastructure management. Collaborative features, such as shared workspaces and live coding, enable distributed teams to work together without configuration drift.
