Choosing a development environment¶

Acquia recommends Cloud IDE as the best environment for Drupal development. With Cloud IDE, you still have your own development environment, but now it’s in the Cloud. That means you don’t have to download, install or troubleshoot software on your own machine.

Learn how to get started with Cloud IDE.

If you can’t use Cloud IDE, Acquia provides limited integration with Lando, which is a Docker-based local environment. For more information, see Acquia Plugin for Lando.
