| Fact | ActiveState Platform | DevPod |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | The Platform hosts custom runtimes whose projects define runtime components, track project history, and provide deployment instructions. | DevPod creates reproducible developer environments in separate containers specified through devcontainer.json. |
The platform suits organizations that need to build and manage custom runtimes across languages and operating systems. It also supports grouping projects by company, department, or team and managing member access by role.
DevPod suits developers who want repeatable container environments on local machines, remote machines, or cloud infrastructure. It is also relevant to users of VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, or SSH-connected editors.
