Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
What is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?
An integrated development environment (IDE) is software used to build applications. With IDEs, this is done by combining common developer tools into one consolidated graphical user interface. Some of the most common components of today’s IDEs include things like debugger programs, source code text editors, and automated local build utilities. Cloud-based IDEs, meanwhile, are SaaS solutions designed to provide unique benefits which local development environments cannot.
For example, with cloud IDEs, there’s no need to download software or configure additional local environments, allowing developers to contribute to projects with more uptime and less hassle. In addition, cloud IDEs allow for centrally managed development environments. This means that no actual code resides on an individual developer’s computer, resulting in greater levels of data security and protection.
Wasabi’s affordable SaaS solutions for any IDE needs
Since IDE is a component of SaaS, which is itself a major component of cloud computing, cloud-based IDEs have completely changed the way modern businesses store and manage their data. For example, Wasabi’s cloud-based SaaS solutions provide companies of all sizes with optimal ease-of-access as their data gets hosted in secure cloud infrastructure, yet always remains fully obtainable via a web browser or API. As an added bonus, Wasabi’s SaaS solutions charge customers on an easy-to-understand monthly or yearly subscription basis.
Compare this to the traditional model of paying for software through a license (one that often includes additional upfront costs and ongoing support fees), and you can see why more and more companies are turning to Wasabi for affordable and hassle-free SaaS data backup.
