Replacing VDI for Developers
The short answer
Cloud-native developer environments that don't feel like remote desktops.
VDI vs. Coder
VDI
Slow
100-300ms latency
Manual provisioning
100-300ms latency
Heavyweight
Full desktop
One-size-fits-all
Coder
Fast
<50ms, peer-to-peer
Terraform-automated
Lightweight
Just what you need
Customizable per team
Why developers actually use it
Real IDEs, not remote desktops
VS Code, JetBrains, or browser-based
Feels local
Direct peer-to-peer and relay connections for low-latency access
Self-service
Developers provision their own environments
