DevEx is an open-source platform to spin up cloud-based development environments (REPLs) that work like your local setup — but in the browser, anywhere, anytime.
Built for flexibility, you can code in your preferred stack, connect over SSH, or run sessions with AI agents via our MCP server. We also support sandboxing AI-generated code securely, letting you test real changes in isolated environments.
Unlike Gitpod or E2B, DevEx is lightweight, self-hostable, and production-grade out of the box — with a developer-first CLI, seamless AI integration, and Kubernetes-native design for infinite scale.
📣 Want to add your own REPL template? It's easy! 👉 Read the Contributing Guide to get started.
