Admins want control. Local dev environments take days to set up and drift across teams. Coder replaces them with standardized, self-hosted environments that get developers productive on day one and give platform teams consistency and control. ### Faster onboarding - Create workspaces in one click from approved templates, no tickets or waiting on IT. - New hires and contractors get a ready environment on day one. - Self-service provisioning lets developers switch projects without rebuilding setup. ### Consistent environments - Define workspaces as code using Terraform. - Reproducible environments serve developers and their AI agents. - Use workspace-based agents or Coder Agents on the control plane without changing platforms. ### Centralized control - Source code lives on your own infrastructure, not developer laptops or third-party services. - Identity and audit apply across developers and AI agents. - Auto-stop idle workspaces to scale compute down. ![](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fpayabl-black.923043ff.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DueEZzExBc2iKXNnbCxAc7zH5Swk) > One or two clicks and developers can start working.

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? What IDEs and languages are supported? Is Coder secure enough for regulated industries? Can I use Coder with AI coding agents or ML workloads?
