Nimbus is a cloud dev environment that saves devs time and effort. Devs never set up or maintain their environment and get more performance via powerful cloud machines accessed through their local VS code app (with other IDEs to come!).

Hi Product Hunt! We’re Nish, Liusha, and Neil — the Nimbus team! ☁️ Nimbus provides dev teams with a pre-configured dev environment in the cloud. We provide the infrastructure and tools for your team to scale, prepare, and manage your dev environments via on-demand cloud machines The idea was sparked when Liusha transitioned from building software for Fortune 1000 companies to Facebook. In the past, he had to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot environments across time zones and outdated docs. At Facebook, he only had to focus on designing and building great products — it was bliss. We started building an MVP to bring this to a coding bootcamp Liusha had taught at, but soon realized how valuable this could be more broadly. Lots of teams try to build similar internal tooling but are surprised by complexity and resourcing needs. Less surprisingly, engineers recognize how powerful this is but aren’t super excited about building this out themselves. That’s why the three of us joined forces to bring the benefits of a cloud dev environment to all. Want to try it out? Nimbus is invite-only right now, but we’re prioritizing the Product Hunt community. Reach out and let's chat: hello@usenimbus.com. Why build on the cloud? ☁️ Simplicity: easier to maintain and scale environments ☁️ Safe-space: broken environments can be thrown away ☁️ Security: code doesn't touch laptops ☁️ Speed: CPU power and download speed are not dependent on your laptop, or connection How is Nimbus different (e.g. From AWS Cloud9 or Github Codespaces)? 💡 Platform agnostic (building for non-Microsoft IDEs like IntelliJ) 💡 Support local IDEs (currently supporting VS code, with more to come) 💡 Flexibility focused (environments aren’t containers; install nearly app you want, multiple repos per env) 💡 Customization (persist user files on ephemeral dev environments, plug into your internal tooling) What will Nimbus help me do? ✅ Enjoy peace of mind with unbreakable environments ✅ Unlock more power to cut build times, wait times, and data transfers ✅ Simplify onboarding and keep code off laptops ✅ Keep dev environments maintained indefinitely (even infrequent or forgotten projects) ✅ Work on multiple projects at the same time — no more git-branch-switching 💰 Deal for Product Hunt: 2 months free, 50% discount on license fee for 10 months. Mention the Product Hunt anytime before you sign up or start a paid plan and we’ll set you up.

We at Pabio have been using Nimbus for a while now and we love it! We've previously used our own self-hosted EC2 VS Code instances, GitHub Codespaces, and other web-based solutions, but Nimbus is the best deal -- it's affordable, extensible, and the founders are great help. Highly recommended!
