Claude Code cloud sessions: a hands-on guide to parallel coding
What happened
On October 6, 2026, the claude.dev developer blog published a practical guide to Claude Code cloud sessions, walking through four real runs that cover parallel coding in separate VMs, environment setup, and how cloud sessions hand off to local ones. Three tasks launched within 16 seconds of each other and all finished 87 seconds after the first one started; one cache fix passed 40 consecutive tests. The guide notes that separate branches don't share fixes, so merge order has to be planned.
