Summary

Replicated, a 5-year old infrastructure software company, has developed a solution to simplify the management of local development environments by moving them to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) resources using Cloudflare Access and Argo. The new cloud-based environment reduces troubleshooting time for developers and allows every engineer on the team to maintain a full stack development environment, even without deep Kubernetes expertise. This approach has resulted in better developer productivity and reduced dependence on powerful laptops. Replicated's experience with this solution demonstrates how moving development environments to the cloud can improve efficiency and security for software development teams.
