RubyMine's Remote Development splits the IDE into a local UI frontend and a remote language backend over SSH. Covers trust boundaries, data flows, heartbeat protocol, failure recovery, and conditions—LSP adoption, browser frontends, zero-trust networks—that would force a redesign.
Explore the architecture of the IntelliJ Platform's indexing system, focusing on how 'stubs' enable fast navigation in large codebases without constant full-file parsing.
Architecture note on JetBrains Code With Me: host-authoritative real-time collaboration, minimal design, trust and data boundaries, operational checks, failure modes and when the design must change.
An architecture note on Eclipse's IncrementalProjectBuilder: why the minimal correct design is delta-driven, where the trust boundaries sit, which operational checks catch stale builds, and when to hand the build to Maven or Gradle instead.
How CLion builds a semantic model from CMakeLists.txt to power navigation and refactoring while keeping build execution separate, and what changes would force a redesign.
Learn how PhpStorm's Remote Development architecture splits the IDE into a thin client and a heavy backend to offload indexing and analysis to remote servers.
