Systems and methods for on-demand container-based development environments are disclosed. According to one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor a method for using an on-demand development environment may include: (1) receiving, from a user interface, a request for an on-demand development environment for an application binary; (2) verifying that infrastructure for the on-demand development environment is not provisioned; (3) identifying a build template for the on-demand development environment; (4) selecting an endpoint for the on-demand development environment; (5) initiating the on-demand development environment on the endpoint using the build template; and (6) deploying the application binary to the on-demand development environment.
