Binder vs PaizaCloud Cloud IDE

Binder provides free, shareable computing environments built from public code repositories. BinderHub dynamically creates an environment image and runs a browser session. Documented sources include GitHub, GitLab, and GitHub Gist. JupyterLab is the default interface, with the classic notebook also available; examples cover Python, R, Julia, and Octave, plus RStudio, Shiny, Voilà, and Bokeh browser sessions. The public mybinder.org service requires no login and is intended for interactive, temporary coding rather than as a backend for for-profit products. Users receive at least 1 GB RAM and may receive up to 2 GB. Sessions shut down after more than 10 minutes of inactivity and aim for up to six hours or one CPU-hour for intensive work, without a continuation guarantee. Session contents are destroyed when users log off or become inactive, and there is no persistent storage. A repository may have up to 100 simultaneous sessions. Binder also supports self-hosting.

PaizaCloud Cloud IDE is a browser-based development environment with an editor, web server, database server and terminal in a cloud workspace. The maker says a new Linux development server starts in about three seconds. The browser interface includes file management, a file editor, terminal and an in-browser browser; users can install or create additional apps. Listed environments include LAMP, PHP, Ruby on Rails, JSP, Django, Node.js, Laravel, Go, Express, MEAN stack, Jupyter Notebook and Git. Users can share a server workspace and connect over SSH. The cloud environment runs Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), and recommended client systems include Windows 8.1 or later, Mac OS X 10.13 or later, iOS 12 or later and Android 8 or later. The free plan includes one server, up to 24 hours of server lifetime and up to four continuous running hours while the browser is open. Publishing public web applications is unavailable on FREE and LITE, but available on BASIC, which costs $19.80 a month. LITE costs $9.80 a month.
