What is Ona?
Ona, rebranded from Gitpod, represents a new era in cloud-based software development by combining intelligent automation with secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure. It offers sandboxed development environments that run with complete OS-level isolation, pre-configured for consistency and tailored for professional engineering. These environments can be hosted in Ona’s cloud or within an organization’s own infrastructure, giving teams flexibility and control over source code, secrets, and networks. Ona Agents act like virtual engineering teammates, capable of scoping projects, parallelizing work, writing and reviewing code, and even producing documentation, keeping momentum high across distributed teams. Developers can move effortlessly between conversations with agents, a browser-based VS Code Web interface, or local IDEs, ensuring fluid collaboration on any device. To safeguard operations, Ona Guardrails provide advanced permission management, organizational policies, detailed audit logs, and complete network control. Global enterprises, including major banks and pharmaceutical leaders, rely on Ona for its robust compliance and enterprise integrations. The platform connects seamlessly with popular tools like GitHub, GitLab, MongoDB, AWS, Copilot, Claude Code, and Amazon Bedrock, making it adaptable to diverse workflows. Backed by SOC 2 certification, GDPR adherence, and accessibility compliance, Ona meets strict regulatory and inclusivity standards. With over 2 million developers already on board, Ona is trusted worldwide as a platform to accelerate software engineering with confidence, security, and efficiency.
