We're excited to announce the open-source release of Dockside, a development tool for provisioning lightweight access-controlled development containers, staging environments and sandboxes - aka ‘devtainers’ - on local machines, on-premises (raw metal or VM) or in the cloud. Github: https://github.com/newsnowlabs/d... Dockside is a tool for provisioning lightweight access-controlled IDEs, staging environments and sandboxes - aka ‘devtainers’ - on local machines, on-premises (raw metal or VM) or in the cloud. Who is Dockside for? → Developers: Work from anywhere (it is browser-based) in a clone of your production environment. Switch between/hand over tasks instantly. No more laborious branch switching, or committing code before it’s ready. ‘git stash’ will be a thing of the past! → Code Reviewers: Access your colleagues’ devtainers directly. No longer must you stare at their code wondering what it does, or waste time on setup, when their code is already running. Comment on and correct code in-place. → Product Managers, Stakeholders & Clients: Access always-on but secure staged versions of the dev team’s work and works-in-progress, from wherever you are in the world. Dockside has been built in-house by the team at NewsNow - one of the most popular news websites in the UK - and has been relied upon over the past few years for all our daily development, product review, staging and testing needs. To learn more and try Dockside, check out https://github.com/newsnowlabs/d.... Dockside is stable, but under active development, so any ideas, suggestions, or feedback would be gratefully appreciated. Also, if you’d like to be paid to work on Dockside, among our other projects, we’re hiring: https://www.newsnow.co.uk/careers/.

Our 'dev enviroment' journey over nearly 25 years, has been from provisioning our web devs with a personal computer each to develop on ... ... through provisioning them with personal VM each to work and stage on ... ... and in recent years, thanks to Dockside, allowing them to provision as many development and staging containers as they need to work on, demo on, and test their work. The improvements - in productivity for the whole team; in the reliability of the work our developers produce; and in the visibility of their work to product managers, editorial colleagues and management and the quality of feedback - have been massive. Last but not least, it's super-easy on-boarding new developers now too, as there is now zero development environment set up.
