About covexo:

covexo shifts the development of software from the local computer to the cloud. By providing an innovative synchronization technology, users of a covexo DevSpace can develop with their local desktop tools and still get all the benefits of the cloud, such as more computing resources and no installations and config issues on the local laptop. The locally written code is therefore transferred to the cloud in real-time, making a hot reload of the developed application in the cloud possible. For this, covexo DevSpaces heavily rely on the newest cloud technologies Docker and Kubernetes. covexo is providing its solution as an open source software and additionally offers a fully managed cloud development platform.
covexo was founded in 2017 by three graduates of the University of Mannheim. After being supported by the EXIST Business Start-Up Grant and winning several awards, covexo was invited to the final interview round of the Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator. covexo’s open source project providing the DevSpace CLI has been released at the end of August 2018.
