“But it works on my machine!” is a big problem that is being solved by projects like Dev Containers.

​The Dev Container spec allows you to define how a development environment should run, including all the additional services that it should run (like any databases and extra services). So we made it default in CodeSandbox environments!

​Now, it’s time to dive into the background of this huge leap forward in our infrastructure with our team.

​Ioana Chiorean, our Engineering Manager is joined by:
​Joji Augustine, Infrastructure Engineer at CodeSandbox
​Danilo Woznika, Product Engineer at CodeSandbox
