I suspect things like GitHub's Codespaces offering will be more and more popular as time goes on for this kind of thing. Did you guys try out some of the AWS Cloud9 or other 'canned' dev env offerings?

My experience with GitHub Codespaces is mostly limited to when I forgot my laptop and had to work from my iPad. It was a horrible experience, mostly because Codespaces didn’t support touch or Safari very well and I also couldn’t use IntelliJ which I’m more familiar with.

Can’t really say anything for performance, but I don’t think it’ll beat my laptop unless maven can magically take decent advantage of 32 cores (which I unfortunately know it can’t).

AWS Cloud9 is a web IDE that can run on any EC2 box. The web IDE is a custom Amazon thing and is quite mediocre.
