What is remocal?

This page aims to go into the pattern & philosophy

  • Hopefully making some jokes around "ephemeral" natures

Remocal.dev

Remocal development is a modern developer workflow, where you build locally, deploy remotely & get quick feedback - without waiting for CI pipelines to run or switching between environments.

This microsite exists to explain this concept in more detail, go into some of the reasons why this matters & how teams can adopt it to ship faster, debug smarter & ultimately build with confience 💪

Why remocal?

Traditional development workflows often force a choice:

  • Local-first: Fast iterations, but not representative of the production environment

  • Remote-first: Accurate, matches production, but slow & painful to iterate

Remocal development aims to bridge that gap by combining the best of both worlds:

Local
Remote

Fast editing & great tooling

Production-grade environments

Instant iteration

Real APIs, real infrastructure

Dev-experience is optimised

Close-to-production deployments

With remocal development, your code lives on your machine, but your app runs where it's meant to - in the cloud, in containers, on edge networks, or wherever else your users are.

What you can find here

This microsite aims to be a guide to understanding, adopting & mastering remocal workflows.

This site is still under construction - please bear with us!

It covers:

  • What is remocal? - A deeper dive into the pattern & philosophy

  • Why do remocal? - Problems this aims to solve & trade-offs to be aware of

  • How to remocal - Practical implementation patterns & workflows

  • Who is doing remocal? - Real world examples & case-studies from others

When you're ready, let's get started!

Why do remocal?

Problems this aims to solve & trade-offs to be aware of

  • Aimed at developers looking to improve their workflow

  • Aimed at product managers looking to help their developers become even faster

Who is doing remocal?

Real world examples & case-studies from others

Plain.com - A magical AWS serverless developer experience

This came out way back in 2022 - and 3 years later it still sounds too good to be true! This setup sounds a little different to a typical remocal development - where each developer in the team gets their own AWS account.

How to remocal

Practical implementation patterns & workflows

Examples will include:

  • Include environment parameter into your IaC parameters (that's likely happening already!)

  • Adding an ephemeralId parameter into your IaC structure
