Coder as a Cloud Development Environment

Coder is defined as a comprehensive platform that allows developers to create and manage their own cloud development environments. Initially introduced as an integrated development environment (IDE), Coder has evolved into a tool that enables developers to provision infrastructure tailored to their needs. This shift streamlines the workflow for platform engineers, making it easier to manage issues related to local environments and dependencies. By leveraging cloud capabilities, teams can reduce downtime and improve collaboration, thereby enhancing overall productivity.
