Understanding a few key concepts

You'll encounter a few terms as you explore Codesphere. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Workspaces: Your personal, configurable cloud development environments. This is where your code lives and where you use the integrated IDE.

  • CI Pipelines (or CI Profiles): These are your automated workflows that take your code, build it, test it, and deploy it. Set it up once, and let Codesphere handle the rest!

  • Landscapes: Think of these as blueprints for deploying applications that consist of multiple interconnected services (like microservices).

  • Off-When-Unused: A smart feature that can automatically shut down services or workspaces when they're not active, saving you resources and money.
