Devpod: Remote Development at Uber

Re:Devpod: Remote Development at Uber by AJRF on Monday December 19, 2022 @08:22AM (#34051711)

Anyone from Uber here that works on this? You ever expect a DevPod for iOS developers? I've been toying with idea of doing this in work for our devs on Intel MacBooks, using -> https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX, which enables local running on iOS devices.

I think it's hampered by licensing though, maybe that's why it's not used or mentioned in this post.

I worked on this at Uber in the past and you explain very well why there is no iOS flavor for devpods.

We’ve thought about this quite deeply at DevZero. Yes, the iOS developer experience can be quite hampered on the local env and requires users to frequently get beefy local laptops/machines. I saw this first hand at Uber from when crowdstrike was rolled out broadly.

We have support for AWS-based Mac VMs on DevZero but we don’t find our customers having their biggest issues related to iOS dev yet (we also target enterprise cos that have a vast diversity of tools, mostly backend and front end)
