Why choose remote development with CodeCanvas?

Standardize development environments

Create and manage uniform, cloud-based development environments for your entire team. With every developer using the same pre-approved tools and settings, you eliminate inconsistencies, simplify management, and ensure smooth onboarding and productivity from the start.

Reduce hardware costs

Save money without compromising performance. Pay for powerful GPUs and hardware only when you actually need them. Ditch costly static VMs and resource-heavy VDIs to cut expenses and free your team from maintaining in-house solutions.

Onboard in minutes, not days

Get your team coding in just two minutes. Whether onboarding new hires, switching teams, or starting fresh projects, everyone can contribute right away. Let your developers focus on the high-impact work you’re paying them for – building great software.

Secure your development

Protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with cloud-integrated development environments. Keep source code off of personal devices and rest easy knowing your team’s work is safe and sound in remote and hybrid work setups.

FAQ

Remote development orchestration eliminates time-consuming setup, onboarding delays, and configuration issues that can take up to a day per week. CodeCanvas standardizes software development environments, making them instantly ready to use, eliminating "it works on my machine" issues, and reducing friction. It offers full control over infrastructure, enables on-demand resource allocation (like GPUs), enhances security by keeping code within your infrastructure, and lowers costs compared to traditional VDI solutions – all while improving performance and developer productivity.organization
CodeCanvas delivers best-in-class support for JetBrains IDEs and comes fully integrated with essential tools like Git and build systems. Unlike other solutions, it requires no manual setup, custom plugins, or additional configuration. With CodeCanvas, your team gets ready-to-code environments instantly, saving time and ensuring consistency.
A self-hosted solution ensures complete control over your infrastructure, data, and security policies. With CodeCanvas, you can comply with strict industry or company regulations while keeping sensitive information within your own network.
CodeCanvas minimizes the risk of source code leaks by keeping code and sensitive data off of developers' local machines. Developers work in isolated, secure environments hosted on your infrastructure. All data remains within your network, and access control policies can be enforced at the environment level to prevent unauthorized access or data sharing.
CodeCanvas uses a floating licensing model based on Daily Active Users (DAU), meaning the number of licenses determines how many distinct users can be active on a given day. You pay for the maximum number of users active on any given day, and the license pool resets daily, allowing different users to access CodeCanvas as needed. This flexible model ensures you only pay for what you use while making it easy to scale with your team’s needs. Pricing is $500 per floating user if paid annually, or $50 per floating user monthly.
If you use CodeCanvas with a JetBrains IDE, you’ll need a valid JetBrains IDE license. However, if you use VS Code, no additional IDE license is required.
