Hello! Maybe it’s the wrong thread but nevertheless…  
I’ve been experimenting with the remote development recently. The basic idea is like working with JetBrains platform on a terminal server. You have a thin client (JetBrains Gateway) running on your machine and the IDE running on the remote server exchanging some UI interaction data between (not a VNC or remote desktop).  
So you may use a small PC or even a tablet to run resource consuming tasks.  
I’ve tried some of the services (GitPod to be exact) bundled with JetBrains gateway and they generally work but not production-stable I would say.  
Given your engineering level, I think you could do much better here 🙂  
Have you guys checked the technology already?  
I would definitely try the remote development if you decide to provide any 🙂

Best, Nikolai

There is another option based on rsync: [GitHub - buildfoundation/mainframer: Tool for remote builds. Sync project to remote machine, execute command, sync back.](https://github.com/buildfoundation/mainframer)  
This one offloads builds only while the IDE stays on your machine

Great idea, I’d love this! 🙂
