Welcome to EasyEnv

EasyEnv gives every engineer and every candidate a real virtual machine in one click. Use it to run technical interviews, ship code reviews, or replace your local dev setup with a production-shaped workspace.

What is EasyEnv?#

EasyEnv is a platform for spinning up real, production-like Linux environments on demand. A workspace is a collection of one or more virtual machines that boot from a recipe, configure themselves, and become reachable from your browser within seconds.

Every workspace ships with an in-browser terminal, a live VS Code editor, port forwarding, and a recording layer that captures sessions for playback. There is nothing to install on the candidate's machine and nothing to install on the interviewer's machine.

A live workspace running in your browser. Real Linux VMs, real terminals, no install.

Two products, one platform#

EasyEnv is shaped around two real-world workflows:

EasyEnv Interview: live and offline technical assessments. Build a test once, send it to dozens of candidates, and review their work with full session recordings.
EasyEnv Workspace: ephemeral developer environments. Replace local Docker stacks with a shared, reproducible virtual machine that any teammate can join.

Both products run on the same recipe library. A debugging exercise you wrote for an interview is the exact same machine your platform team can spin up to reproduce a bug.

How it works#

Pick a recipe
A recipe is a machine blueprint: OS image, packages, services, and (optionally) intentional misconfigurations for hands-on assessments.
Spin up a workspace
We provision one or more virtual machines from your chosen recipes, attach them to the EasyEnv mesh network, and stream the terminal to your browser.
Work, share, record
Invite teammates or candidates, run a live session, and let EasyEnv record the screen and terminal for later review.
Tear it down
Workspaces are ephemeral by default. Stop or archive on demand; the duration timer reclaims compute automatically when the workspace runs out.
