CircleCI releases general availability of VisualStudio Code extension
Developers using VS Code now have access to CircleCI’s CI/CD intelligence to makeactionable decisions in real-time
SAN FRANCISCO, NOVEMBER 28 2022 — CircleCI, the leading continuous
integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform, announced the general availabilityof the CircleCI VS code extension.
According to Stack Overflow, Visual Studio Code has a significant lead as the integrated
development environment (IDE) of choice across all developers, largely due to its robust
architecture and ease of use. With this extension, more teams have access to aninterface to visualize and manage their CI/CD pipelines directly from their IDE.
It has been reported that the daily work for a developer is filled with obstacles andinefficiencies, primarily related to everything other than writing code. This problem has
only increased for developers, as more organizations look to move work closer to thedesign and development phase earlier in the process.
CircleCI’s VS code extension aims to unblock developers and help them get theirworkflows running and increase their speed to deploy.
“The loss of productivity and developer focus caused by iterations and waiting time in
the integration and deployment process is one of many examples that prove howunoptimized the whole software delivery process still is,” said Jean-Philippe (JP)LeBlanc, SVP of Engineering, CircleCI. “We believe this is our opportunity to help
developers across different stages of their development journey, to make sure they canhave feedback about their code as early as possible and can ultimately go from idea tosoftware efficiently, frequently, and with confidence.”
Key benefits include:● Access real-time information for faster decision making: By bringing key
workflow status information in the code editor, the CircleCI VS Code extension
enables developers to identify and address issues that require their attention
promptly.
● Speed and agility with less context switching: The CircleCI VS Codeextension reduces the time developers take to successfully deploy their code bysurfacing actionable information. Developers can quickly identify flaws, fix them,and get their workflows running without switching away from their IDE.

“Developers using the CircleCI VS Code extension are able to remove context switching
between CircleCI and their IDE, making it easier for them to focus on writing greatsoftware,” stated Jim Mercer, Research Vice President DevOps and DevSecOps, IDC.
“Enabling developers to focus their efforts without distractions leads to better
productivity and better code.”This comes on the heels of CircleCI’s significant growth and big bets on collective
intelligence.
