The practice is older than the term — Unix terminals connected to shared servers in the 1970s were remote development environments — but the modern form emerged around 2019 with VS Code Remote SSH and has since split into three distinct architectures.</p> <h2 id="ssh-based-remote-development"><a href="#ssh-based-remote-development" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>SSH-based remote development </h2> <p>The simplest architecture: a developer connects to a remote machine over SSH, and the editor handles the split transparently. The remote machine runs the language server, file system, terminal, and build tools. The local machine handles rendering and input.</p>
