    Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments

    Project mention: Easy development environments with Nix and Nix flakes! | dev.to | 2025-01-15

    If writing a devshell on your own seems more complicated than necessary, you can use tools like Devenv or Devbox (by the same team that built NixHub), which are both built on Nix. Devenv provides nice wrappers to automatically add languages, services (like postgres or redis), etc. on top of your flake, without having to do the shenanigans we had to do with Valkey. Devbox on the other hand, lets you skip writing Nix entirely, since they have their own CLI and lock file that pull packages from nixpkgs.

Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries. Learn more →
