Coder's Evolution to a Cloud Development Environment
Coder has transformed from providing a cloud-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to a fully open source Cloud Development Environment (CDE). This evolution allows developers to provision infrastructure seamlessly, whether it's on a virtual machine or within a container. Initially focused on a browser-based IDE, Coder has paved the way for developers to create standardized environments that can be shared across teams. This innovation enhances the overall development process by enabling a single engineer to make infrastructure updates that can be deployed to hundreds of colleagues with one click.
