Deep dives
Evolution of Coder as Cloud Development Environment
Coder has transformed from a web-based IDE into a comprehensive open-source cloud development environment (CDE) that enables developers to provision infrastructure for coding in various cloud spaces. Initially focused on providing a web IDE where code could be written in browsers, Coder has evolved to allow teams to create and deploy their development environments efficiently on cloud infrastructure. This shift empowers developers by eliminating the need to use different local environments, thus standardizing the coding experience across teams. The evolution includes the use of containers, virtual machines, and other cloud tools to enhance productivity and streamline development processes.
