Scale it confidently. Safely integrate any AI tool into your development workflow, on your infrastructure, without losing control, visibility, or adaptability. [Install Coder](https://coder.com/docs/install)[See Coder in action](https://coder.com/demo) ![Two Column Masthead Background](https://coder.com/_next/static/media/twocol-premium-masthead-bg.8b7ffea4.jpg?w=3840)![](https://coder.com/_next/static/media/ai-governance-solutions-masthead.abb750ac.jpg?w=3840) ## AI is already in your software development lifecycle. The question is how you manage it. AI tools are here, but most enterprises lack a safe way to adopt them. Uncontrolled AI tools in local development introduce security risk, shadow usage, and rising costs, while blocking AI slows delivery. With Coder, bring AI into the mix with enforced guardrails and production-ready governance. ![shield icon](https://coder.com/_next/static/media/shield-violet.d01b7f59.svg?w=3840) ### Controlled deployment Unlike SaaS platforms, Coder runs fully on your infrastructure and integrates with SSO, IAM, and monitoring tools. This keeps source code off third parties and meets strict data sovereignty and compliance requirements. ### Faster time to market Define development environments as code using Terraform to speed up onboarding. With Coder, standardize tools and policies eliminating setup delays and reduce time to delivery. ### Resource optimization Provision GPUs, run agents in parallel using efficient bin-packing, and control costs with resource limits and usage tracking. Developers gain powerful environments while platform teams maintain visibility and optimize spend. ![](https://coder.com/_next/static/media/financial-institution-black.366d1b24.svg?w=3840) > We are reliant on Coder right now to roll out Claude Code and Codex since it's the path of least resistance for centralizing model configuration. ## Get visibility and control with Coder ![Coder Agents: Offload long-running tasks to self-hosted agents on your infrastructure.

Securely introduce AI through a self-hosted control plane that governs model access, MCP tools, agent identity, network egress, and spend before AI ever reaches developer devices. ## AI adoption with standardization Coder accelerates AI adoption by using templates to define ephemeral, isolated workspaces with pre-defined context, network access, and tooling. Agents are provisioned on demand in standardized environments running on customer-controlled infrastructure, not laptops, allowing platform teams to onboard new agents quickly without reworking security or compliance controls.

It replaces scattered API keys across developer laptops with centralized authentication, user-level tracking, cost monitoring, and comprehensive audit trails, enabling compliant AI adoption without slowing developers down.

Coder’s Agent Firewall wraps agent processes with a default-deny network policy, restricting which domains and HTTP methods they can access. Admins define explicit allowlists in templates to control access to package registries, internal services, and external APIs, while all policy decisions are logged and streamed to the control plane for centralized auditing.

Coder helps you meet compliance goals by running entirely within your own infrastructure. This means your data stays where you control it—critical for meeting FedRAMP, GDPR, DORA, and similar requirements. Is Coder SOC 2 Type II certified? Does Coder work with my existing tools? How does Coder support compliance in highly regulated industries like banking? What IDEs and languages are supported? Is Coder secure enough for regulated industries? Can I use Coder with AI coding agents or ML workloads?
