Managed Environments & One-Click Templates

We're thrilled to announce Managed Environments with one-click templates! No more spending hours setting up your development environment. Pick a template, choose a region, and start coding.

5 Environment Templates

Choose the perfect starting point for your project:

• AI Coding (Recommended) - Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Aider pre-installed. Just type claude to start.
• Node.js - Node.js 22 + pnpm, ready for web development
• Python - Python 3 + pip + virtual environment
• Full Stack - Node.js + Python + database tools for web apps
• Blank - Empty environment for advanced users
