I-Snail - Gitpod is about three times faster than my i9 Mac

Publish Date: Jun 13 '21

Just checking gitpod.io.

Trying aws CDK 2.0 with go...

Just look at these numbers:

MacBook Pro 2019 Intel 8 Core i9

View on Mac

This go test needs about 11 seconds.

GitPod (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU)

Gitpod

This is the same command on a gitpod (free version) - 3.8 seconds!

Some time is wasted on the sophos engine running on the mac.. but 3 times faster is really fast!

Or - please not - is it that linux is so much more efficient? And don`t talk about GO alone, this is CDK, so there is some Node.JS in the background too!

What are your experiences?

Thanks

    I've been using GitPod for a while and it is amazing. Personally, I use it for the speed impact since I run a Pixelbook as essentially an overpowered thin client.
    The primary speed increase for me is to be able to spin up a clean environment and have it ready-to-go in a matter of minutes; super cool stuff!
