Remote Development vs Local Development
Developers should learn Remote Development when working with resource-intensive applications, needing consistent development environments across teams, or collaborating in distributed settings—common in modern DevOps and cloud computing meets developers should adopt local development to increase productivity, ensure code quality, and minimize risks before sharing changes with a team. Here's our take.

Remote Development
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Remote Development when working with resource-intensive applications, needing consistent development environments across teams, or collaborating in distributed settings—common in modern DevOps and cloud computing
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for developing microservices, machine learning models, or applications requiring specific hardware (like GPUs), as it allows coding on lightweight local machines while leveraging remote servers for heavy computation
- +Related to: visual-studio-code-remote, ssh
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Local Development
Developers should adopt local development to increase productivity, ensure code quality, and minimize risks before sharing changes with a team
Pros
- +It is essential for debugging complex issues in isolation, experimenting with new features without affecting others, and maintaining a fast feedback loop during coding
- +Related to: docker, virtual-machines
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Remote Development if: You want it is particularly useful for developing microservices, machine learning models, or applications requiring specific hardware (like gpus), as it allows coding on lightweight local machines while leveraging remote servers for heavy computation and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Local Development if: You prioritize it is essential for debugging complex issues in isolation, experimenting with new features without affecting others, and maintaining a fast feedback loop during coding over what Remote Development offers.
