CodeSandbox

CodeSandbox offers 24/7 collaborative cloud development environments (CDEs) that resume in 2 seconds, enabling entire teams to connect and code live together anytime. The platform ensures security with SOC 2 Type II compliance, flexible permissions, access control, security monitoring, and private npm. CodeSandbox integrates seamlessly with existing development setups, including VS Code and GitHub, and uses Dev Containers to pre-configure environments with necessary tools, libraries, and dependencies. Hosting over 4 million developers each month, creators within organizations like Shopify, Netflix, and Stripe have crafted over 30 million apps on the platform. The company raised $15M in Series A funding from top-tier VCs, operators, and Angels. CodeSandbox provides a VS Code extension to enjoy cloud development benefits alongside VS Code extensions, keybindings, and themes, and offers a GitHub integration for reviewing PRs quickly and getting automatic deployment previews. The platform supports Docker, enabling the running of servers, databases, microservices, and more within the development environment. It features a Storybook add-on for turning static stories into dynamic code playgrounds and offers various templates for different JavaScript frameworks to help users start coding quickly. CodeSandbox also provides Sandpack for creating live-running code editing experiences and supports coding exercises to improve developer recruitment with insightful and replicable coding challenges. The platform includes instant feedback tools to bring non-technical team members into discussions with accessible low-code tooling and allows for live coding sessions to guide others through the code and learn by building something together. CodeSandbox’s cloud development environment can save developers over 5 hours per week, providing a platform for rapid prototyping, knowledge sharing, and better feedback within the development process. It also supports private npm packages from custom registries, ensuring privacy by default.
