Coder provides a self-hosted platform for provisioning secure, scalable developer workspaces and running AI coding agents on customers' own infrastructure. The platform serves large organizations across technology, automotive, and financial services - including Dropbox, Palantir, Discord, Mercedes-Benz, and Goldman Sachs - addressing the operational complexity of modern development environments.
The platform offers broad technical flexibility, provisioning environments from virtual machines to Kubernetes clusters and supporting tools ranging from Jupyter to VS Code. Environments are defined as code using Terraform, enabling reproducibility and standardization across teams. Coder also enables customers to build and run parallel AI coding agents within these secure, self-hosted environments, giving organizations direct control over AI governance and policy boundaries rather than relying on external services.
By operating entirely on customers' infrastructure, Coder removes vendor lock-in and eliminates the compliance friction common in cloud-dependent development platforms. The architecture prioritizes security by default and transparency in how development environments are constructed and managed, positioning the platform as a foundational tool for platform teams seeking to standardize workflows without sacrificing control or security posture.
