Boost Dev Productivity with Google Cloud Workstations and Gemini Code Assist

Cloud Workstations is an enterprise ready managed Google Cloud service that provides secure and customizable on-demand environments for developers ready to go in minutes. It offers benefits such as fast developer onboarding, consistent environments, and support for many popular developer tools and IDEs. Instead of requiring developers to install software and run setup scripts, you can create a workstation configuration that specifies your environment in a reproducible way and developers access the workstations through a browser-based IDE, from multiple local code editors (such as VSCode or JetBrains IDEs), or through SSH.

Gemini Code Assist is an AI-powered collaborator that helps development teams build, deploy, and operate applications faster and more efficiently throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). Gemini's intelligent code suggestions and generation capabilities empower developers to focus on the creative aspects of development while using popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ. It leverages advanced features like context-aware prompting, license attribution, code customizations, and full codebase awareness to provide high-quality code suggestions and make coding faster and more efficient.
