I’ve been using Colima to host docker containers and VSCode with devcontainers to do something similar. Being able to spin up a full stack environment on the fly for working is amazing. It may not be as fast as Zed, but it’s a well thought out workflow that’s very reproducible. It’s been a quick workflow to start using, but is still quite flexible. Regardless of which stack you use, I think this is a great style of working. When you have a reproducible dev environment, everything is so much easier. (As vagrant users will probably attest to - it’s not a new method). But having this feature of SSH remoting is also quite handy without the dev environment stack stuff. I also find it quite nice to work with a local client, but remote SSH environment when I’m doing data work (large genomic data files). In this case, instead of reproducibly, the main benefit is data locality. If my large dataset is on a different server, it’s far more convenient to write the analysis code on that remote server. This new Zed feature seems like it will also support this workflow, which is also a win in my book.
