New developers spend days setting up their environment. Senior developers spend hours. Neither should.
Daytona by
@daytonaio fixes this with one command.
What is it?
A radically simple open-source dev environment manager โ the GitHub Codespaces alternative that puts you in full control, on any machine, with zero vendor lock-in.
Run one command. Get a fully provisioned, configured, and secure dev environment โ instantly.
What makes it stand out:
- One command setup โ daytona create [repo URL] and you're coding in seconds
- Works anywhere โ local machine, remote server, AWS, GCP, Azure, or any cloud
- Prebuilds โ your environment is ready before you even open it
- Secure by default โ isolated sandboxes for running AI-generated code safely
- Supports VS Code, JetBrains, and any Web IDE out of the box
- Devcontainer support โ standardised environments your whole team shares - New team member onboarding? Minutes instead of days
- Built for AI coding agents โ run and test AI-generated code in isolated sandboxes
- 2.5M developers signed up for their earlier Cloud IDE project โ the team knows this space
No more "works on my machine." No more 5,000-word setup guides. No more three days of onboarding.
Just `daytona create` โ and code.
