Building modern, distributed and highly scalable microservices with Kubernetes is hard - and it is even harder for large teams of developers. Traditional development environments often face several challenges including lengthy development cycles, local setups, inconsistent dependencies and manual configuration, hinder collaboration and innovation. Built on the open source Eclipse Che project, Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces uses Kubernetes and containers to provide developers and other IT team members with a consistent, secure, and zero-configuration development environment. The experience is as fast and familiar as an integrated development environment (IDE) on your laptop.

In this session, we’ll see how OpenShift Dev Spaces simplifies the development of containerized applications. We’ll also look at how it transforms the developer experience by delivering consistent, pre-configured environments customized for specific team and project requirements. Additionally, we'll demonstrate how to take advantage of its powerful features, such as integrated IDEs, automated dependency management, and seamless CI/CD pipeline integration, to minimize setup time and eliminate common "it works on my machine" issues.

This session is ideal for:
Developers, seeking efficient, consistent environments for coding and collaboration.
DevOps professionals interested in integrating development workflows into CI/CD.
Team leaders, looking to enhance collaboration, reduce onboarding time, and improve overall productivity.
Organizations aiming to modernize their development practices to stay competitive.

By attending this session, participants will:
Understand the benefits of using OpenShift Dev Spaces for cloud-native development.
Learn practical implementation techniques, including environment setup, integration with tools, and best practices.
Walk away equipped with actionable knowledge to modernize their development workflows and achieve faster innovation cycles.
