I've been running my dev env on a bare metal for almost 2 years now, the setup was pretty much just and SSH client setup with VSCode remote SSH extension.
Running on a Hetzner AX41-NVMe (6 cores, 64GB Ram, 2x512GB NVMe) for around $40ish.
With GCP workstation for a e2-standard-4 (4 cores, 16GB Ram) would cost $230 + $10/mo for the 100GB storage
No hourly charge crap, can run all night do time and resource consuming tasks, huge storage space etc... all around good experience so far
- esperent 3y agoAre there any latency issues running VSCode on a remote server?
- garashovb 3y agoI have also similar setup (was not my choice first), 0 issues (including latency) so far. Working great.
- thejosh 3y agoIt all depends on the stability of where your workstation is in terms of internet. Latency is the killer depending where you are from. I'm use to 260-280ms latency, which is a lot better than it use to be. Perth, Australia. Glad they finally have decent international cables. And fibrr drastically improved latency.
- DeTheBug 3y agoDay2day usage? no not really, everything is smooth including the terminal and the built-in port-forwarding feature You may notice a tiny delay when refreshing files or when using hot/live reload stuff, but it's sub-second and only becomes an issue of you dig for it

- CraigJPerry 3y agoThat’s pretty interesting and i think that hetzner price is cheaper than i can self-host. Powering that host would cost me around £12/mo That bandwidth is £44/mo That host itself amortised over 3 years would be £22/mo
