Deploy Coding Agents at Scale

Coder gives AI coding agents the boundaries and context to safely work alongside your developers, all within secure, self-hosted development environments on your infrastructure.

AI Coding Agents

AI needs more than a sandbox

Built for contribution, not just containment, Coder environments come fully configured with the tools, access, and context AI coding agents need to work safely—without putting your codebase or systems at risk.

Learn more about scaling AI with Coder

• Secure boundaries for agents

  Set stricter permissions on what AI coding agents can access and execute compared to human developers, even within the same workspace.

• Manage agents at enterprise scale

  Coder provisions infrastructure as code, so your developers can instantly spin up ephemeral environments for as many AI agents as you need.

• Keep AI spend in check

  Set clear limits on what agentic AI can spend per task, so your team doesn’t unintentionally burn through tokens or infrastructure resources.

Cloud Development Environments

Coder modernizes cloud development

Coder delivers what traditional CDEs fundamentally couldn‘t: a fast, secure, and ephemeral cloud development experience that outperforms local and gives enterprises the agility and scale they require.

Explore Coder‘s Well-Architected Framework

• Run Coder at scale without penalty

  Built on Go, Coder runs at internet scale, enabling concurrent operations with highly performant and distributed multiprocessing capabilities.

• Reduce latency with superior networking

  By using advanced TCP/IP strategies like buffering, compression, and peer-to-peer NAT traversal, Coder delivers low latency and high resiliency.

• Standardize workspaces via Terraform

  Coder uses Terraform to standardize deployment of ephemeral development environments, allowing for easy addition of new features and capabilities.

Secure Deployment

Install Coder anywhere

Coder is open source and can be installed on any cloud, including air-gapped environments. Developers can run Linux, Windows, and macOS in secure workspaces, accessing powerful infrastructure on any platform.

Install Coder on your cloud

• Centralize source code in your cloud

  Coder reduces code and data exfiltration risks by moving sensitive IP from developers‘ decentralized laptops to your secure cloud.

• Push global vulnerability updates

  Centralizing development environments in your cloud improves responsiveness and allows you to instantly push patches to all developer workspaces.

• Integrate with your ecosystem

  Coder integrates with Backstage, JetBrains, VS Code, JFrog, and more, so your team can continue using the tools you already approved.

Happy Developers

Deliver a premium developer experience

With just a few clicks, developers can start their own ephemeral cloud development environments with the IDEs, tools, and infrastructure they already use and love.

Explore Coder‘s developer experience

• Spin up ephemeral environments

  Coder workspaces are ephemeral, allowing developers to move quickly, experiment freely, and easily restart if something breaks beyond repair.

• Tailor developer workspaces

  With Dev Containers, developers can customize their individual workspaces with additional approved tools from Artifactory and other repositories.

• Provide familiar IDEs and tools

  Grant developers access to the same web-based and desktop IDEs they already use, including VS Code, IntelliJ, Jupyter, code-server, and more.

Consistent Environments

Define environments as code

With Coder templates, platform teams can standardize the tools and infrastructure in developers‘ cloud development environments, ensuring consistency and security by default.

Explore best practices for creating templates

• Create your first template today

  Write a Coder template from scratch or visit the Coder Registry to choose a starter template for AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and more.

• Manage templates via Terraform

  Coder templates are written in Terraform, making it easy for teams to version control, review, and manage changes to cloud infrastructure and tools.

• Control template access

  Template access controls allow platform teams to manage which individuals and groups can modify and create workspaces from each template.

Optimized Costs

Operate with increased efficiency

Coder offers superior governance and security without sacrificing the developer experience, surpassing the possibilities of traditional local development environments.

• Eliminate weeks of onboarding time

  Onboard developers instantly with a few clicks, speeding up their first commit, maximizing their productivity, and improving their experience.

• Avoid unnecessary cloud spend

  Automatically start and stop workspaces when they become inactive, and set user-level resource budgets to prevent runaway cloud costs.

• Unlock faster builds and model training

  Provide developers and ML engineers access to powerful CPU and GPU resources available at scale in your cloud for intensive training processes.
