Coder’s Customer Success Philosophy

<h3>Coder in Government — Winning an AFWERX SBIR Phase 1 Award (x20.1)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*8ZMFz3hxmbytaB46xfP2rg.png" /></figure>I was excited when I uncovered Coder had strong product-market fit within regulated industries, specifically the Federal Government where I’ve spent a large portion of my career. Working with the Federal Government has been a great pleasure and I have a strong passion for working with the individuals and organizations that run and protect our country. Yes, it’s a challenging environment to conduct business, especially with the complexities of procurement and compliance requirements. However, there’s a real feeling of a greater good that comes from partnering with stakeholders to win the small fights required to solve larger challenges; getting technology into the hands of government employees and military personnel to empower them to accomplish the mission.I can’t express how excited I am to share that Coder has been awarded a U.S. Air Force AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) x20.1 Phase 1 contract. This award enables Coder to research and identify where our enterprise product can solve the environmental and computational bottlenecks related to software development and data science within the Department of Defense (DoD). The Air Force SBIR 20.1 is a Joint Partners program between the U.S. Air Force (USAF), the U.S. Army, Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), providing awards to small businesses who are demonstrating technological innovation that meet a potential need across the DoD.As the DoD shifts to DevSecOps, Coder allows the development environment to fit into the DevSecOps pipeline alongside the rest of the development workflow. All development actions and source code are centralized on an organization’s internal infrastructure. This allows engineers to use elastic compute resources to complete tasks, while also reducing the security overhead of the organization by keeping all intellectual property inside the centralized infrastructure.Coder works seamlessly within the most restrictive air-gapped environments, providing productivity in a zero-trust environment for software engineers and data scientists.These practices make it difficult and time-consuming for new engineers or data scientists to get their machine in the correct state to begin work on an application or data set. The installation and setup processes are often error-prone and difficult to do correctly in zero-trust environments.We are excited to bring these capabilities to the DoD and are thankful to the folks at AFWERX, SBIR, and the amazing thought leaders around DevSecOps within the DoD for this opportunity.About AFWERXAFWERX is a community of Air Force innovators who strive to connect Airmen to solutions across the force: whether that be funding, collaborating with industry, or simply receiving guidance on a project. The organization was established in 2017 by the Secretary of the Air Force, reporting to the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and is comprised of active duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, Air Force Civilian Service, and contractor personnel. The group serves as a catalyst for agile Air Force engagement across industry, academia and non-traditional contributors to create transformative opportunities and foster an Air Force culture of innovation. AFWERX’ goal is to solve problems and enhance the effectiveness of the Air Force by enabling thoughtful, deliberate, ground-up innovation across the Air Force.

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*yoqdQSrTjNcFl_ARy-LvHQ.png" /></figure>Throughout the years DevOps best practices have driven IT innovation for large organizations’, shortening the development life cycle.Every year, organizations face IP theft, breaches, and inside threats. It’s these challenges that lead to a focus on security within the DevOps pipeline. DevSecOps serves as an extension to DevOps by addressing security risks and vulnerabilities throughout the software development life cycle. As organizations adopt DevSecOps within their software development teams, it is essential to empower their data scientists and software engineers with the right tools to maintain consistent, secure, and performant development environments.Coder acts as the first foundational step in an organization’s DevSecOps pipeline by providing developers with a productive, consistent, and secure development environment. With DevSecOps best practices, infrastructure templates are getting source controlled, container images and source code are being automatically scanned for vulnerabilities, and services are being scaled elastically in real-time. However, the development environment is still running on the user’s isolated endpoint, limiting the available resources for tasks and adding more security overhead by having to protect the intellectual property on each user’s isolated endpoint.Furthermore, the development environment isn’t being source controlled like the infrastructure is in DevSecOps. This makes it difficult and time-consuming for new engineers or engineers switching projects to get their machine in the correct state to work on an application or data set. The engineer has to install the correct version of the project’s programming language, frameworks, and tooling just to start contributing. This installation and setup process is error-prone, very difficult in zero-trust environments, and creates onboarding overhead for development teams.With Coder, the development environment fits into the DevSecOps pipeline alongside the rest of the development workflow. All development actions and source code are centralized on an organization’s internal infrastructure. This allows engineers to use elastic compute resources to complete tasks, while also reducing the security overhead of the organization by keeping all intellectual property inside the centralized infrastructure. Coder works seamlessly within the most restrictive air-gapped environments, providing productivity in a zero-trust environment for software engineers and data scientists.Each development environment is created from an image that is defined by the team. These images contain all of the required software dependencies to get started working on a project immediately, thus removing any installation and setup onboarding overhead. These image definitions can also be source controlled, providing an organization with “development environments as code”, similar to how “infrastructure as code” is currently used in a DevSecOps pipeline. This functionality allows for productivity and security to be in harmony, bringing the development velocity of a startup to the enterprise.<img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=988b5e6d6867" width="1" height="1"><hr><a href="https://medium.com/coderhq/how-coder-fits-into-your-devsecops-initiative-988b5e6d6867">How Coder fits into your DevSecOps Initiative</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/coderhq">Coder</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

How Coder fits into your DevSecOps Initiative

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*CFTNolQ4PkTJL1ghLr9fdQ.png" /></figure>As COVID-19 continues to spread and impact communities, many organizations are implementing remote work policies to protect their employees. The development community and our customers have come to us looking to leverage <a href="https://coder.com/">Coder</a> during a work from home mandate, particularly within regulated enterprises. We are committed to ensuring our customers are able to continue pushing technological boundaries whether they’re working from the office or anywhere in the world.Software engineers working in organizations impacted by unexpected business disruptions need to go through a significant amount of effort to get their home environment into the same state as their work environment. The process of installing programming languages, testing frameworks, development utilities, and other tooling is time-consuming, error-prone, and dependent on the underlying machine’s operating system. Time spent setting up this environment can slow down a project’s trajectory and cause development environment drift between team members.Engineers working in a regulated industry or on sensitive code and data sets may have to put their project on hold until the disruption is resolved. In their case, they’re not allowed to work on the project outside of the organization’s internal infrastructure and network. This is the case for many of our customers.<a href="https://coder.com/docs/introduction">Coder Enterprise</a> was built to power and secure an organization’s development environments, including operating in an air-gapped configuration. Engineers using Coder Enterprise can access their development environments on any machine, all through their browser. This remote access provides a consistent and preconfigured environment no matter what endpoint machine is used to access it.Development environments on Coder Enterprise are run on the organization’s secure internal infrastructure and accessed through the standard network and security policies in place across the organization. Centralizing development environments provides visibility and insight into potential security threats, allows updates and patches to be rolled out across the development organization, and ensures that intellectual property isn’t stored on local endpoints.

Secure and Productive Software Development During a Work From Home Mandate

<h3>Announcing Sail: The universal standard for instant dev envs</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vZDBU7DGxUAdjTXLwebvqw@2x.png" /></figure>Coder’s objective with <a href="https://sail.dev/">Sail</a> is to accelerate workflow through the orchestration of the development environment. Two months ago, we released <a href="https://github.com/cdr/code-server">code-server</a>. Code-server separates Visual Studio Code’s frontend and backend so you could use VS Code on a remote server. To date we’ve amassed over 19k GitHub stars and 1.4 million docker pulls, validating our vision for the future of development.Today we release <a href="https://sail.dev">Sail</a>. A universal workflow for reproducible, project-defined development environments. Sail allows projects to define their own development environment via a single Dockerfile. With Sail, projects can be opened in a dedicated environment right from GitHub or GitLab. It eliminates the “It worked on my machine” problem. Sail environments run code-server, providing an experience that feels local, but dedicated to the project at hand. More supported editors are just around the corner. Stop setting up environments, share workflow improvements, and collaborate not only on code, but on how the code is written.<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/618/1*-d0ZFrWeK832Ig0GliZjQQ.gif" /></figure><a href="https://sail.dev/docs/installation/">Install it now</a>, or check out <a href="https://github.com/cdr/sail">the GitHub</a>.— The Coder Team<img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=839e8c1e4c1c" width="1" height="1"><hr><a href="https://medium.com/coderhq/announcing-sail-a-universal-standard-for-instant-dev-envs-839e8c1e4c1c">Announcing Sail: A universal standard for instant dev envs</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/coderhq">Coder</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
