A platform for provisioning cloud development environments for engineering teams.
Coder is an open-source platform for running cloud development environments on your own infrastructure. It provisions remote workspaces from templates, so developers connect to a powerful, preconfigured machine from any laptop, while the organisation keeps code and compute inside its own network.
Key Features
- Self-hosted cloud development environments on your own infrastructure
- Terraform-based templates for workspace configuration
- Works with VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the browser
- Persistent workspaces with dotfiles and startup scripts
- Open-source core with a managed cloud option
- Access controls and audit logging for engineering teams

How it works
Templates are written in Terraform, which gives platform teams full control over the machine size, image, dotfiles, and startup scripts each workspace gets. Developers pick a template, launch a workspace, and connect from VS Code, JetBrains, or the browser, with their work persisted between sessions.
Because Coder is open source, the self-hosted version costs nothing beyond your own infrastructure, and a managed cloud option exists for teams that do not want to run it themselves. It is a strong fit for organisations that want the cloud-IDE experience without sending their code to a third-party cloud.
