Breaking through the developer productivity ceiling

The developer productivity ceiling refers to the limit in productivity improvements an organization can make without shifting focus left to improve development environments. Developers spend a significant amount of time on maintenance, debugging, and reworking code, leading to high costs for businesses. GenAI and internal developer portals have been used to address these issues but do not tackle the core problems. Gitpod's cloud development environments (CDEs) allow platform teams to automate common development workflows such as dependencies, access management, extensions, resources, and global security and compliance controls. By shifting focus left and addressing the core issues in development environments, businesses can unlock unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. Gitpod customers have seen an average of 800 hours saved annually on developer onboarding and a 15% increase in overall developer productivity.
