Developing with devfiles

To get a better understanding of what devfiles can help build, take a look at a few tools that currently support devfile.

Quick start guides

• Use the devfile specification to develop a Node.js “Hello World” application using odo. Developing this application introduces you to how a devfile automates and simplifies your development process.

Get started with odo.

• Create a workspace in Eclipse Che with a community sample backed by the devfile specification to start building your application in the language of your choice.

Get started with Eclipse Che.

• Use blueprints in Amazon CodeCatalyst to quickly build a "Modern three-tier web application". Start working on the source code with a Dev Environment that uses a devfile to pre-determine and install the required project tools and application libraries.

Get started with Amazon CodeCatalyst.

• Set up a remote development environment that links to your Git repository using JetBrains Space Cloud Dev and the devfile specification.

Get started with JetBrains Space Cloud Dev Environments.
