Audience
Teams building interactive devtools, coding education platforms, AI-assisted IDEs, or in-app developer experiences that require a secure, fast, and fully client-side Node.js runtime
About StackBlitz WebContainers
StackBlitz WebContainers bring a full Node.js runtime directly into the browser, enabling instant, secure, and interactive development environments inside any web app. Developers can run native npm, pnpm, and yarn at speeds up to 10× faster than local, without needing external servers. The API lets you boot containers, mount files, install dependencies, and run dev servers entirely client-side. WebContainers support major frameworks, Wasm workloads, and modern browsers, making them ideal for tutorials, sandboxes, docs, and AI-driven developer tools. With isolated, disposable environments, teams can offer a seamless coding experience that feels native and eliminates backend overhead. The result is a powerful platform that transforms web apps into full-featured IDEs.

Plunker
Plunker is the best tool to prototype, experiment, share and debug your ideas on the web platform. From idea to implementation, Plunker helps you build something quickly and frictionlessly. Losing work sucks. We know that and we've felt it. That's why we made it almost impossible to lose yours. We keep track of your most recent work and keep a copy of all of your unsaved code. Every time you start an experiment, open a Plunk, a Gist or a Githubrepo, we save that for you and let you catch up where you left off. Plunker isn't a one-way street. Drag files from your desktop into the Plunker Editor's file tree and let your imagination go wild. This goes both ways. When you're ready to graduate, drag your project right to your desktop in one pretty little zip file ready for upload! All the power of the editor, in a clean little box with a bunch of knobs and levers to best suit your needs.

Strong Network
Strong Network allows the management of containers for DevOps online (as opposed to locally on developers laptop) and access them through a cloud IDE or a SSH connection (in the case of a local IDE). These containers provide a complete management of access keys and credentials to multiple types of resources, in addition to providing data loss prevention (DLP). In addition we combine the IDE with a secure chrome browser (remote browser isolation) such that any third party applications for DevOps can be accessed with DLP. This platform is a complete replacement for VDI/DaaS for code development. Our platform allows the provisioning and management of containers for development online (as opposed to locally on developers' laptops, using a solution like docker desktop for example) and enables accessing them through a cloud IDE or a SSH connection (in the case of a local IDE).

JSFiddle
JSFiddle has the notion of panels (or tabs if you switch into the tabbed layout), there are 4 panels, 3 where you can enter code, and 1 to see the result: HTML - structure code, no need to add body doctype head, that's added automatically, CSS - styles. You can switch pre-pocessor to SCSS, JavaScript - behavior. There are many frameworks and code pre-processors you can use. Once you enter code, just hit "Run" in the top actions bar, and the fourth panel with results will appear. SFiddle allows you to switch the layout of the editor from the classic 2x2 grid to something that suits your needs. In addition to the grids mode it also has a tabbed mode. Grids are fully resizable. As an addition resizing the Results panel will tell you its width (handy for working on media queries).
