⚙ Full Stack
Node.js server forking a patched VS Code (Code-OSS) instance, exposing the editor over HTTP/WebSocket to a thin browser client; workspace files live on the container's filesystem.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scales by running one instance per developer, not by scaling a shared service — each instance is single-user and stateful, so 'scale' here means provisioning more pods, not load-balancing across them.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
One pod per developer with a persistent volume for the workspace; set the password via env var/secret, and terminate TLS at the Nexlayer ingress rather than in-container. Mirror the Node base image via mirror.gcr.io.
