What is Coder Workspaces?
Coder is a self-hosted remote development platform that provisions dev environments across enterprises' Kubernetes, Docker and VM infrastructure. Coder aims to deliver cost-effective and responsive remote development environments that work within or independent of virtual desktops, all accessible from a web browser.
Coder can run on shared compute infrastructure like Kubernetes, and simply shut down workspaces to remove idle development environment use. If Coder coexists with VDI, the VDI machine sizes are smaller and lower cost because the development environment is moved out of VDI to the Coder infrastructure. If Coder is used in lieu of VDI, the dedicated compute challenge ends and development environments share compute across the Coder deployment.
The open source edition is a free remote development platform that works with every cloud, operating-system, editor, and Git provider.
