Coder

What Coder is

Coder is a self-hosted cloud development environment platform. It provisions workspaces from Terraform templates on your own infrastructure so developers and AI agents work in a controlled, consistent environment, with governance, audit logging and compliance features.

What you can do with it

• Define and recreate development environments from templates
• Give agents a sandboxed place to work
• Reduce environment drift between machines
• Keep audit records of workspace activity

Who it is for

• Platform and infrastructure teams
• Security-conscious enterprises
• Organisations with compliance constraints

What to watch out for

• Deploying and maintaining it requires real infrastructure capability
• Template design, permission policy and resource cost planning are yours
• It is an environment and governance layer, not an IDE or a review process
• Agent access still needs its own limits and monitoring
