## What it is
Gitpod Classic is a developer platform providing on-demand, pre-configured cloud development environments based on Docker and .gitpod.yml, integrating with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. The project has been renamed to Ona, which pivots toward running governed background AI coding agents in cloud environments, and Gitpod Classic's pay-as-you-go offering has been sunset.

## Use cases
- spin up a ready-to-code dev environment in the cloud from a GitHub repo
- avoid setting up local development environments with .gitpod.yml
- run prebuilds so workspaces start instantly
- do collaborative code reviews in a browser-based VS Code
- run AI coding agents in secure ephemeral cloud environments
- standardize reproducible dev environments with Dev Containers
- self-host cloud dev environments in my own VPC

## When to choose
- you want disposable, reproducible cloud development environments tied to your repos
- you need to run AI coding agents in governed, isolated cloud workspaces
- your team wants consistent environments across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps
- you need enterprise controls like SSO, audit trails, and VPC deployment

## When to avoid
- you want a fully open-source self-hosted CDE without vendor services - the hosted product is now the focus
- you rely on Gitpod Classic pay-as-you-go, which was sunset in October 2025
- you need offline or fully local development
- you want a lightweight editor rather than a full cloud environment platform
