Cloud IDE vs local IDE: Understanding the differences

What's this blog post about?

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a suite of applications used by developers for writing and building applications. Traditionally, developers have run their IDEs on local machines, but there has been growing interest in moving development workspaces and IDEs to the cloud. Local IDEs are installed and run on a developer's personal machine, while Cloud-based IDEs run on servers accessed through a browser or other remote access tools. The choice between using a local or cloud IDE depends on factors such as team size, internet connectivity, hardware limitations, and individual preferences for customization.
