For Developers

  1. Always use a solid state drive - SSD.

    • Lack of space should be supplemented with a low cost .

  2. CPU and memory should be sufficient to allow for the use of following applications in parallel:

    1. VOIP (voice over IP) with screen sharing and/or and screen recording. For ex: skype, hipchat, zoom.us, google hangouts, webex, slack, joinme etc.

    2. Browsers with multiple tabs and/or sessions

    3. Terminal or CMD prompt

    4. IDE

  3. Specifications should actively discourage the use of functionality which is better off on a . Using a cloud-box sets a better precedent for how your developers perceive the deployment cycle from start to finish. This devops-first approach works in the best interest of a developer's skillset and the company's bottom line.

  4. We recommend

    • 1.6GHz CPU

    • 8GB Memory

    • 256GB SSD

    • roughly 1,200 USD

    • This still might be just a tad too powerful!

    • Even with these models, we haven't been able to get some of our developers to see the light: "Always build and run in docker with the cloud-box."
