Problem
Onboarding developers and managing resources in traditional development environments can be challenging due to manual provisioning, inconsistent configurations, and security concerns. Providing secure access to internal and third-party developers while maintaining control over infrastructure is also difficult.
Solution
Coder is a self-hosted, open-source platform that enables organizations to deploy and manage cloud development environments (CDEs) on their own infrastructure. It automates the provisioning of fully configured workspaces, providing developers with the necessary infrastructure, IDEs, and tools. By decoupling the developer workspace from local devices, Coder enhances security, governance, and observability for platform teams, while also reducing cloud costs through automatic shutdown of unused resources.
Target Audience
Coder is designed for organizations of all sizes, particularly those with strict security requirements, that want to streamline developer onboarding, improve resource utilization, and maintain control over their development infrastructure.
