StackBlitz

Instant full-stack dev environments in the browser

FreemiumFree TierAdded Aug 1, 2017

About

StackBlitz runs full Node.js development environments entirely in the browser using WebContainers technology. No cloud VMs, no downloads — just open a URL and get a full dev environment with npm, a file system, and a dev server running in your browser tab. It powers instant demos, documentation examples, bug reproductions, and AI-powered code generation. StackBlitz also offers Bolt.new, an AI app builder using the same WebContainer tech.

Origin Story

By Eric Simons

The Problem

Sharing a code example shouldn't require the recipient to clone a repo and install dependencies.

Building It

Founded 2017, launched WebContainers in 2021. Powers docs and examples for Angular, SvelteKit, and more.

What It Means

Proves that full development environments can run in the browser without any cloud infrastructure.

The Dream

Make starting any development project as instant as opening a web page.
