I think Gitpod is a great product, and I've had a massive amount of use of their free tier. There's something pleasant about throwaway Ubuntu development environments. I can cover pretty much all of the major development use cases in it, even container work.

I just hope they survive long enough to take off as they're giving a lot away for free currently. Their dedicated instance setup looks like it'll cover the majority of businesses who'll likely have their own landing zones and cloud controls they can integrate into. Not being able to self host is a loss, but it might the right trade off.

I don't understand the AGPL bit well other than it was seen like poison by corporate risk types at my previous jobs.
