Remote development with rdev

As developers, we are all familiar with using Linux towers for building our code, running servers etc. Recently at LinkedIn, they launched a new service for the employees called “rdev”. It provides developers with pre-built virtual machines that greatly reduce the time it takes to clone a repository, build it and start the server for the repository. It currently supports Java, Python and JavaScript repositories.

This post goes into good detail about how they used Kubernetes to achieve this. It is my latest favorite thing about working at Linkedin 😁
