# New Open Source Project: Use Envbuilder to Empower Developers with Dev Containers

[Envbuilder](https://coder.com/blog/envbuilder-is-here-enable-developers-to-customize-their-environments-with-dev-con) allows developers to manage dependencies and environments independently with the open Dev Container standard.

- **Reduce ticket queues and improve delivery speed** by giving developers more control over their environments.
- Pull in tools that are already approved from sources like [Artifactory](https://jfrog.com/artifactory/), **reducing reliance** on platform teams.
- Leverage in **restricted environments** where you may not have access to a Docker daemon—it doesn't need one to work!
