I think you're talking about spinning up a temporary environment running the code and connecting via a local IDE to inspect it, whereas OP is talking about hosting the IDE remotely.

No, Google actually runs a remote web IDE called Cider. The latest version is derived from VSCode.

At Google, people can use "Cider" which is a web browser based IDE, and they can use a "Cloudtop" which is a desktop virtual machine provisioned via Google's cloud infrastructure, as alternatives to a dedicate physical workstation.

Nope, the VM has the git repo + IDE binaries + everything else. You can code against it using just a web browser if you want.
