Dev containers in Kubernetes. Indistinguishable from local.

Point your IDE at a devcontainer.json. Fifteen seconds later, you're coding in the cloud.

Features

Built for developers who care about feel

< 50ms latency

Local input prediction and protocol optimization. Indistinguishable from local.

Your IDE, unchanged

VS Code, JetBrains, or Zed. All extensions, themes, keybindings. No browser IDE.

devcontainer.json

No Terraform. No platform team bottleneck. Drop a config in your repo and go.

15s startup

Aggressive image pre-warming and layer caching. Warm workspaces in under 15 seconds.

One Helm chart

Fewer than 10 config values. Zero to running in under an hour.

Your cloud, your rules

Code never leaves your VPC. SSO/OIDC. Audit logs. Image policies.

Works offline

Continuous background sync. Lose connectivity? Automatic local failover.

Gitpod migration

elmsfire migrate gitpod converts .gitpod.yml to devcontainer.json. Minutes, not days.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

01

Open your project

Clone or open any repo with a devcontainer.json. Works with VS Code, JetBrains, Zed, or any SSH-capable IDE.

$ git clone myproject && code myproject
02

Click "Yes"

Elmsfire detects your dev container config and prompts you. One click to launch in the cloud.

→ "Open in Cloud Dev Container?" → Yes
03

Start coding

15 seconds later, you’re in a container on your company’s Kubernetes cluster. Same IDE, same extensions, same everything.

✓ workspace ready — connected via SSH
