Deep dives
Origins of Daytona
The concept of Daytona emerged from a long history dating back to 2009, when its founders created Code Anywhere, initially known as PHP Anywhere. They built a browser-based integrated development environment (IDE) that required extensive infrastructure for development environments. Though Code Anywhere attracted millions of users, it did not achieve significant success, prompting the team to explore other opportunities. However, a resurgence in interest from the development community in remote cloud environments rekindled their commitment, leading to the inception of Daytona to fulfill the demand for automated, secure development environments.
