openvscode-server VS serverless-application-model

This already exists!! https://www.gitpod.io/

https://www.gitpod.io/ does this

Not sure what .devcontainer means, but you can take a look to https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server or https://github.com/coder/code-server

We look forward to integrating more with Gitpod in the future! Check out the Gitpod homepage for more information and new development environment templates.

I suggest you check out https://www.gitpod.io, which does more general provisioning of GitOps clusters/Pods in their managed Kubernetes clusters. It's not specifically ML, but we've looked at it for POC ML projects that want basic hosting.

People have been using tools like jsfiddle for quick experiments for years, but it's been limited to playing with client-side stuff. However, full-fledged web IDEs were maturing fast in 2022. For example, Codesandbox now provides good support for full-stack frameworks like Next and Nuxt by spinning up remote containers to run the server-side workload and emulate a "local" experience for you. Gitpod adopts a similar technology but looks more ambitious in reaching deeper into development life cycles. The most exciting among all is StackBlitz. It took the courageous step to implement a full NodeJS implementation with Web Assembly (called WebContainer). With that, your backend code can run right inside your browser. No need to spin up remote containers and no need to transmit data back and forth across the network. It's a truly local environment. This approach sounds like the only practical way of solving the problem and turning Web IDEs into mainstream usage.

I personally use DDev and Docksal due to work requirements. Personally I like Lando. With either of these, you can set your virtual environment to the specifics of that site. Makes life very easy. Another option that I have used is https://www.gitpod.io/ which isn't even local. It works pretty well and can connect. I have also been meaning to try github's workspace, but that may just be for Javascript applications (need to read up more)

There's at least one good commercial solution that basically does the same thing the blog describes [1]. Working well for us so far.

For Lambda for example, you could treat the whole thing with an infrastructure as code approach with SAM for example. That way you'd also have your version control bases covered.

AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) smooths the deployment of serverless applications for AWS

"The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. It provides shorthand syntax to express functions, APIs, databases, and event source mappings. " https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/

AWS SAM - Infrastructure as Code tool, specifically for serverless development

AWS SAM

If you're going all-in on the AWS serverless stuff then you may as well just use AWS SAM. It a manager for cloudformation templates for common serverless stack components (lambda, api gateway, eventbridge, dynamodb, s3, etc), so you define your stack in a more condensed template format and it deals with cloudformation on your behalf.

AWS SAM, used to build and deploy the CloudFormation stack.

AWS's open-source take on a declarative framework specifically for deploying serverless applications is called AWS SAM, or Serverless Application Model. It had a slow start but has had an incredible cadence of pumping out features and quality-of-life additions in the last year or two and is now a very serious contender.

I think SF is a decent balance between automagic convenience and flexibility, and it doesn't dictate anything about your actual Go code. AWS offers something similar, SAM, but it was a really long way from SF last time I tried it.
