Microsoft has announced a private preview of the backend service that powers its Visual Studio Code editor, along with a specific CLI to manage it. Visual Studio Code Server can be installed everywhere and easily used through VS Code for the Web running in a browser.
Visual Studio Code Server is another move in Microsoft’s journey to enable remote development based on its popular editor. The journey started in 2019 with the introduction of the VS Code Remote Development extensions and led later to the introduction of GitHub Codespaces, which quickly became GitHub default development platform.
