Stateful Dev Environment Checklist

A checklist for stateful dev environments: persistence, output replay, stable sessions, and fast resume.

Published: 2026-01-04 · Last updated: 2026-01-04

If you want a stateful dev environment, these are the non-negotiables.

Checklist

  • Session persistence across disconnects and time gaps.
  • Output replay so offline work is visible later.
  • Stable session identity to resume the same workspace.
  • Fast resume without re-running setup.
  • Bounded resources so persistence does not become leakage.

Why it matters

Without these, your environment may look persistent but still behaves like a disposable session.
