About Remote Dev Environments (RDE)
Remote Dev Environments (RDE) provides on-demand cloud virtual machines that replicate the same machines, stacks, and caches used by Bitrise CI or Build Hub. These environments can be spun up in seconds and archived when not in use, allowing developers to resume work without local setup. The service targets mobile development teams working with iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, Ionic, Cordova, or Unity who need consistent build and test environments. It addresses issues like ‘works on my machine’ discrepancies by ensuring the development environment matches the CI environment. AI coding agents can also run in these environments, leveraging the exact tools required by the build process. The tool is designed to reduce setup time and eliminate environment-related bugs by providing identical infrastructure for development, testing, and deployment.
