Description
| Context | JetBrains Gateway [1] is the entrypoint for all JetBrains remote development. The scope of this epic is to create a Gitpod JetBrains Gateway plugin and release it to the JetBrains gateway marketplace which allows a user to interact with Gitpod workspaces directly from gateway on their desktop. |
|---|---|
| Owner | Product - @loujaybee \ Tech - @akosyakov |
| Value | Enables a user to initiate a Gitpod workspace directly from desktop, without requiring the user to leave their desktop environment and navigate to a browser. Another route for users to discover Gitpod from existing tools they love to use. |
| Acceptance Criteria | - User can successfully launch and make changes from JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA IDE - User can successfully launch IntelliJ IDEA IDE from Gitpod in the browser - Success metrics are instrumented and working as expected - JetBrains Gateway plugin is released to the marketplace - Documentation for how to install and use the gateway plugin is written and published |
| Growth Area | Acquisition / Onboarding / Activation & Retention |
| Persona(s) | JetBrains Users |
| Hypothesis | - Adding JetBrains desktop support will increase overall Gitpod desktop usage - Onboarding users are less likely to bounce (as users do not have to change their IDE preferences) |
| Measurement | - Increase in sessions launched from JetBrains gateway to Gitpod |
| In scope | - Listing, and creating new workspaces directly from desktop (within JetBrains Gateway) |
| Out of scope | - Launching of workspaces from directly within the IDE - Authentication allowed within JetBrains gateway - Ensuring full support in other IDE's than IntelliJ IDEA |
| Complexities | - Unknowns with JetBrains Gateway API's - Updating the general Gitpod UX for desktop |
| Latest Update | 21.02.2022 - JetBrains Gateway plugin created and working, currently under functional testing and documentation is still being updated. Primary focus for JetBrains Gateway and Gitpod integration is IntelliJ, other IDE's will follow. |
