Coder is Open To Build: The Infrastructure for Autonomous Coding

Software development is changing. Fast.

AI coding agents are no longer a future concept. They’re here, writing real code, accelerating delivery, and reshaping workflows. But scaling agentic AI across an organization doesn’t just require new tools — it demands new infrastructure.

Today, Coder is unveiling a new brand that reflects our role in this shift. We are an AI software development company. Our mission is to make agentic AI a safe, trusted, and integral part of every software development lifecycle.

This is more than a visual refresh. It’s a statement of intent — and a preview of Coder’s next chapter.

From cloud dev environments to agentic infrastructure

Coder always helped enterprises like JB Hunt, Palantir, and Dropbox modernize development by moving workspaces to the cloud — securely, at scale, and without slowing down dev teams. Our self-hosted Cloud Development Environment (CDE) gives platform teams the control they need while offering developers fast, flexible access to the tools they prefer.

In a world where human developers benefit from speed and choice, cloud environments are a growing option. But in an agentic world, it’s a requirement.

The frontier models validated this. OpenAI’s Codex needs Docker infrastructure. Jules uses Google Cloud’s VM infrastructure. And Microsoft’s Copilot Agent uses GitHub Actions for dedicated containers or VMs. Put simply, agents need CDEs.

This presents a significant challenge for large enterprises. Relying on proprietary cloud infrastructure poses risk, compliance, and reliability challenges. Agentic AI in the enterprise is a different beast.

That’s where Coder comes in.

Coder’s CDE is now the foundation for agentic development in the enterprise. It provides:

• Ephemeral, isolated workspaces that spin up fast and shut down clean
• Built-in policy enforcement to govern who (or what) can access code
• Complete auditability of agent and developer activity
• Toolchain flexibility, so devs and agents get first-class tooling
• Enterprise-grade security and identity integration, for running in production

This approach enables developers to adopt AI at their own pace, with full visibility and control. Use basic GenAI as a developer assistant. Work in AI-powered IDEs as virtual pair programmers. Or farm out tasks to fully autonomous agents functioning as your peer software engineer. Developers get the best developer experience to drive productivity. And platform and security teams gain the confidence to manage both human and AI contributions in one cohesive system — no shadow tools, no sprawl, no compromises.

Coming July 2025: The future of enterprise software development

In July, we’re launching a major update designed for the realities of AI-assisted development. This release introduces agent-aware controls that extend our CDE’s capabilities. You’ll be able to:

• Provision environments where AI agents and humans work side by side
• Define scope and permissions for each agent, tailored to the task
• Monitor and audit AI-generated changes like any other team member
• Enforce security and compliance policies — automatically

For organizations experimenting with autonomous coding or preparing for large-scale AI adoption, this is a turning point. You get the velocity of agentic workflows with the guardrails of enterprise infrastructure.

Why it matters now

We’re seeing a new hybrid team emerge: developers collaborating with agents for code generation, refactoring, documentation, testing, and beyond. But without secure, standardized environments, this hybrid model can introduce more risk than reward.

Coder solves this by offering structure without friction:

• Developers stay productive with familiar tools
• Agents operate within well-defined boundaries
• Platform teams retain visibility and control across every workspace

It’s how enterprises can move from pilot projects to production-grade AI development — safely, confidently, and at scale.

Join us for Launch Week

To mark this evolution, we’re hosting Launch Week in July — a series of live sessions, technical deep-dives, and product demos for engineering leaders, platform teams, and anyone navigating the AI shift in software development.

You’ll get:

• A full walkthrough of our July platform release
• First looks at new agent-aware workspace capabilities
• Best practices for building and governing AI-augmented workflows
• And much more!

Reserve your spot now

This is your front-row seat to the next chapter in enterprise development where agentic AI and developer experience go hand in hand.
