Over the last year, we have implemented many new features and fixes to make a product that would truly help developers. Today, we’re announcing that we have decided to discontinue the development of CodeCanvas in its current form.

JetBrains is a software development company known for its suite of developer tools, including integrated development environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm. Through its platform, JetBrains provides developers with powerful tools for coding, debugging, and collaboration, across a wide range of programming languages and frameworks. From their blog developers can learn about JetBrains' IDE features, productivity tips, and best practices for using its tools effectively to streamline their development workflows and boost productivity.

JetBrains announced the discontinuation of CodeCanvas, their cloud development environment platform launched in 2024. The company concluded that traditional CDEs are becoming obsolete in the AI-enabled development landscape and cannot meet evolving developer needs. CodeCanvas will stop accepting new licenses immediately, provide support until January 2026, and shut down completely by March 2026. JetBrains is pivoting to develop a new AI-first, cloud-native product focused on autonomous AI agents, with CDEs playing a supporting role in the new architecture.

<p>Never really got the point of a cloud IDE.  What you save in time by having a consistent environment you lose by every keystroke going to the cloud.  IDE’s should be local.</p>


<p>imagine of capability to type 200 words per minute and have THAT cloud IDE latency ?</p>
