I'm Ivan Burazin, and for the past 15 years, I have been on a mission to streamline software development environments. Today, I'm excited to share the culmination of that journey: Daytona, an open-source Development Environment Manager designed to finally solve the issue of setting up dev environments, whether local or remote.
My journey in cloud development began in 2009 when my cofounder and I we launched the first (or at least one of) commercial Cloud IDEs, Codeanywhere. We developed everything in-house: the IDE, the orchestrator, and more. We garnered interest from over 2.5 million developers, and although it makes sense now, then we were ahead of our time.
Fast forward to today and remote development is commonplace, but the complexity of setting up environments has grown by a magnitude.
This is where Daytona comes in.
- What is Daytona?
Daytona is an open source, single-binary Development Environment Manager that lets you set up your development environment anywhere – local, remote, cloud – with a single command: ‘daytona create.’ It's free, flexible, and ready to use.
- Why Daytona?
*Simplicity*: Set up your dev environment with a single command. The only thing you need to need it to point to a repo and a target and Daytona automagicly does the rest.
*Flexibility*: Works on any machine, with any infrastructure.
*Open Source*: Fully transparent and community-driven.
- Getting Started:
We've made it super easy to try Daytona:
1. Download the single binary. 2. Run it on your machine – no signups, no emails, just straight to business.
We're excited to see how Daytona can streamline your development workflow. Try it out, push its limits, and let us know your thoughts, questions, and feedback right here.
GitHub: *https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona\*
I'll be around to discuss and answer any questions you have. Looking forward to ur feedback regardless.
