About Coder
Coder offers AI development infrastructure and governance solutions. It provides developers with a secure, governed environment that allows AI coding agents to be run at scale. The main features of Coder focus on creating self-hosted development environments, allowing developers and their AI coding agents to work together on an organization's infrastructure following established boundaries and policies. With Coder, AI governance becomes simpler through a centralized gateway for the observation and control of language model (LLM) tool usage across environments. Coder's services are geared towards a range of industries, including automotive, finance, government, and technology. It specializes in creating secure environments where both developers and AI coding agents can operate in parallel, each within their own secure, consistent workspaces, provisioned through Terraform. Moreover, Coder has the ability to integrate with a variety of tools and platforms, like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Openshift, Terraform, Github, Gitlab, Jupyter and VSCode. Coder is heavily oriented towards maintaining security as it powers development across these industries, enforcing tight compliance and supporting seamless AI adoption.
