Local system environment for cloud based development

A method for providing a development environment for a client system that runs on a cluster, comprising:

• starting, by one or more processors, the cluster from the client system to run the development environment, wherein starting the cluster includes instantiating the cluster based on a predefined cluster image, and in response to instantiating the cluster, automatically configuring a set of dependencies for the cluster;
• receiving, via the development environment, code input to an interface with the client system;
• determining to execute the code;
• and
• in response to determining to execute the code, executing the code using the cluster including automatically scaling the cluster based on a workload for executing the code.

A computer program product for providing a development environment for a client system that runs on a cluster, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• starting, by one or more processors, the cluster from the client system to run the development environment, wherein starting the cluster includes instantiating the cluster based on a predefined cluster image, and in response to instantiating the cluster, automatically configuring a set of dependencies for the cluster;
• receiving, via the development environment, code input to an interface with the client system;
• determining to execute the code;
• and
• in response to determining to execute the code, executing the code using the cluster including automatically scaling the cluster based on a workload for executing the code.
