+# Development with VSCode
+
+The repository includes a `.devcontainer` folder that contains a `Dockerfile`
+and `devcontainer.json` file to help you develop the Python backend
+using
+[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers).
+
+In order to build the backend, you can execute the "Build Python Backend" task in the
+[VSCode tasks](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks). This will build
+the Python backend and install the artifacts in
+`/opt/tritonserver/backends/python`.
