Recommended editors let you specify which editors are best suited for your project. When configured, users see these editors highlighted at the top of the editors list in the environment details page. JetBrains warmup also uses this configuration to determine which editors to warm up during prebuilds.

JetBrains warmup integration

When JetBrains warmup is enabled for your project, the recommended JetBrains editors are automatically warmed up during prebuilds. This means:
  1. The JetBrains backend is pre-installed for each recommended JetBrains editor
  2. Project indexes are built for each editor
  3. Users opening a recommended JetBrains editor skip the download and indexing steps
To use JetBrains warmup:
  1. Configure recommended editors to include the JetBrains editors your team uses
  2. Enable JetBrains warmup in your prebuild configuration

Best practices

  • Match your stack: Recommend editors that have the best support for your project’s languages and frameworks
  • Consider team preferences: If your team primarily uses specific editors, recommend those
  • Enable warmup for JetBrains: If you recommend JetBrains editors, enable JetBrains warmup to give users the fastest startup experience
