Moving from Cursor/Copilot to async cloud coding agents: which setup?
Extension_Lake4065 · reddit · 2026-11-04
A dev team currently using Cursor/Copilot for in-editor autocomplete wants to move to background coding agents that run asynchronously in cloud sandboxes, execute their own tests, and return a finished diff. Local agents choke their laptops on builds/tests and often need manual fixes. Options being weighed: Ramp Inspect (early access, runs background sessions from Slack/GitHub PRs with cloud sandbox builds) vs. rolling custom background scripts on cloud sandboxes. The poster asks the community for reviews and alternatives.
