A few months ago I started my journey to bootstrap Lapdev[1], an open core solution to manage remote development environments that you self host. It didn't really work out.<p>Still I was developing Lapdev on a AMD Desktop CPU machine hosted in Hetzner, because I know it's more performant and less expensive than a public cloud. And it strikes to me that all existing cloud dev env providers like Codespaces and Gitpod all use the cloud, i.e. server CPU for their offering. So I quickly did some performance tests on Codespaces and Gitpod, and comparing them to my AMD box. Unsurprisingly, my AMD box can deliver 2x the performance, given the same CPU cores.<p>So it's clear to me that I should work on a cloud dev env with AMD high end gaming CPUs, as there's no such offering on the market. If you've got remote development in your workflow, check us out on <a href="https://lap.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://lap.dev/</a> and see if it can boost the performance for you.<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39801399">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39801399</a>
