Techniques are described for development community assessment via real-time workspace monitoring. In one example, a method includes outputting, to one or more servers, a first developer registration information for a developer matching service, and downloading an agent associated with the developer matching service to a developer workspace on the client, wherein the agent is configured to monitor the developer workspace. The method further includes outputting, to the servers, data obtained from monitoring the developer workspace by the agent, and receiving, from the servers, a message that a correspondence has been identified between code in the development environment and code in a second development environment registered with the developer matching service. The method further includes establishing a connection between the client and a collaboration platform including a social coding service that facilitates collaboration between the first and second development environments.
