Coder Technologies Coder 2.12.5 Enterprise (macOS / Linux)

Coder is an open-source cloud development environment (CDE) that you host in your cloud or on-premises. With Coder, you can deploy environments that provide the infrastructure, IDEs, and tools your developers need. Upgrade to Coder Enterprise to gain enhanced security, governance, and observability for your platform teams.

Why Coder
The key difference between Coder OSS and other remote IDE platforms is the added layer of infrastructure control. This additional layer allows admins to:

• Support ARM, Windows, Linux, and macOS workspaces
• Modify pod/container specs (e.g., adding disks, managing network policies, setting/updating environment variables)
• Use VM/dedicated workspaces, developing with Kernel features (no container knowledge required)
• Enable persistent workspaces, which are like local machines, but faster and hosted by a cloud service

Coder includes production-ready templates for use with AWS EC2, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and more.

How it works
Coder workspaces are represented with Terraform, but no Terraform knowledge is required to get started. We have a database of pre-made templates built into the product.


Coder workspaces don't stop at compute. You can add storage buckets, secrets, sidecars and whatever else Terraform lets you dream up.

IDE Support
You can use any Web IDE (code-server, projector, Jupyter, etc.), JetBrains Gateway, VS Code Remote or even a file sync such as mutagen.


Why remote development
Migrating from local developer machines to workspaces hosted by cloud services is an increasingly common solution for developers and organizations alike. There are several benefits, including:

• Increased speed: Server-grade compute speeds up operations in software development, such as IDE loading, code compilation and building, and the running of large workloads (such as those for monolith or microservice applications)
• Easier environment management: Tools such as Terraform, nix, Docker, devcontainers, and so on make developer onboarding and the troubleshooting of development environments easier
• Increase security: Centralize source code and other data onto private servers or cloud services instead of local developer machines
• Improved compatibility: Remote workspaces share infrastructure configuration with other development, staging, and production environments, reducing configuration drift
• Improved accessibility: Devices such as lightweight notebooks, Chromebooks, and iPads can connect to remote workspaces via browser-based IDEs or remote IDE extensions

Build and Test Faster
Cloud computers can build and test large codebases at breakneck speeds, saving hours of developer time per week. Coder workspaces can run on existing VM, Kubernetes, and other computing infrastructure, putting unused resources to work.

Unlock AI / ML Development
With cloud workspaces, data science teams benefit from the latest advancement in hardware as soon as they become available. Upgrade Jupyter workspace specs with a few lines of code. Share GPU access from the cloud. Eliminate time-consuming replication of large data sets to local machines.

Reduce Cloud Costs
Coder reduces cloud costs by automatically shutting down unused resources and starting them back up right before developers begin their day. Augment or replace expensive, always-on VMs or VDI solutions that your developers hated anyway.

Bring Code Closer to Resources
Clone, download, upload, and query faster by moving your development environments closer to your data. With Coder, developers experience consistent, high-performance networking even when coding from log cabins and coffee shops.

Secure Third-Party and Contractor Developers
Third-party developers and contractors need the same access to development environments as your own employees. Unfortunately, giving them full remote access or administrative privileges to their local machines is risky. Coder decouples the developer workspace from third-party devices, restoring productivity in restricted environments.

• Visual Studio Code is connected in a single click from the dashboard using the Coder extension.
• JetBrainsJetBrains Gateway is supported with our extension—use any of your favorite JetBrains IDEs.
• SSH connections can be created using `coder ssh`. All you need is a terminal!
• Automatic Shutdown specifies a duration to stop resources when no connections are active.
• Single Sign-On lets users sign up with OpenID Connect (Okta, Google, etc).
• Automatic Git Auth integrates with GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket and Azure DevOps to auto-auth users when performing Git operations.

Built for Enterprise Scale
Coder is battle-tested by the world's largest, global enterprises. Adding regions is as easy as adding options to your template. Every cloud Point-of-Presence is a potential region for your deployment.

Coder's networking is backed by WireGuard®. Connections are secure, fast, reliable, and peer-to-peer, meaning the experience is snappy at any scale.
