Improving security posture using ephemeral development environments

Ephemeral development environments (EDEs) are a solution to improving security posture in cloud-based coding environments. Unlike static environments that can accumulate vulnerabilities and expose sensitive data for extended periods, EDEs are short-lived and automatically follow security policies without impacting developer experience. Gitpod is the only vendor offering ephemeral development environments, which drastically reduce attack surface areas and provide an 'eject' button without hurting development workflows.
