Coder

Coder is a platform for provisioning and managing secure, self-hosted development environments that bring developers and AI coding agents together on governed infrastructure. With over 122,000 GitHub stars, the platform defines every development workspace as Terraform infrastructure-as-code, enabling reproducible, version-controlled environments that run on any cloud or on-premises infrastructure including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Kubernetes clusters, Docker, and Red Hat OpenShift. Each developer or AI agent gets an isolated, policy-governed environment with precise resource allocation, network segmentation, and security boundaries. The platform addresses three critical enterprise challenges: developer onboarding takes minutes instead of days, heavy workloads run on scalable cloud infrastructure instead of laptops, and security teams maintain full governance over source code, secrets, and AI agent behavior. SOC 2 Type II certified with support for air-gapped deployments and all classification levels, making it suitable for government, financial services, and highly regulated industries. Coder Agents extend the platform to govern AI coding agents, providing self-hosted AI workflow infrastructure with controllable boundaries and policies. Native integrations include VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Jupyter notebooks, and the Backstage developer portal. AI model integrations support Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI models with GitHub and GitLab CI pipelines. Customers include the United States Department of Defense, Dropbox achieving 4x faster developer onboarding, Palantir, Discord, Skydio reducing cloud compute costs by 90 percent, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Caterpillar.
