Deep dives
The Evolution of Coder
Coder has transitioned from a simple integrated development environment (IDE) to a comprehensive cloud development environment (CDE) that allows developers to provision infrastructure across various cloud platforms. Initially known for embedding VS Code in the browser, Coder now enables users to create and manage their development environments on any server or cloud service, ultimately streamlining the software development process. This evolution was driven by the need for developers to overcome hardware limitations, such as outdated laptops and complex dependency management. By leveraging powerful cloud instances, Coder significantly reduces build times and ensures consistency across development environments, enabling teams to work more efficiently.
