JetBrains Launches Fleet IDE for Dev Teams
JetBrains has officially launched Fleet, a lightweight and collaborative IDE built from scratch to redefine modern software development workflows.
JetBrains, the creators of IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, have launched Fleet, a brand-new lightweight, modular, and collaborative IDE designed to address the evolving needs of software developers. Unlike previous JetBrains IDEs, Fleet is built from the ground up using new architecture optimized for speed, remote collaboration, and multi-language support.
Why JetBrains Built Fleet
Traditional IDEs have grown heavy over time. JetBrains recognized this pain point and decided to create Fleet to:
Launch fast, like a text editor
Scale up into a full IDE when needed
Support collaboration and remote-first workflows
Offer a reimagined UX built with simplicity and speed in mind
Key Features of Fleet
⚡ Fast Startup, Smart Expansion
Fleet opens in seconds like a lightweight code editor (similar to VS Code), but can dynamically switch to a full-fledged IDE with smart code understanding.
