5252## Proxy
5353
54- A proxy in Coder serves as an intermediary between users and the Coder platform,
55- facilitating secure communication and access control. The proxy handles requests
56- from users, routes them to the appropriate services within Coder, and enforces
57- security policies to safeguard sensitive information.

59- ## Provisionerd
60-
61- A provisioner in Coder is responsible for provisioning and managing resources
62- required for workspace creation. This includes allocating computing resources
63- such as CPU, memory, and storage, as well as configuring networking settings to
64- ensure seamless connectivity within the workspace environment.
54+ A workspace proxy serves as a relay connection option for developers connecting
55+ to their workspace over SSH, a workspace app, or through port forwarding. It
56+ helps reduce network latency for geo-distributed teams by minimizing the
57+ distance network traffic needs to travel. Notably, workspace proxies do not
58+ handle dashboard connections or API calls.

60+ ## Provisioner
61+
62+ Provisioners in Coder execute Terraform during workspace and template builds.
63+ While the platform includes built-in provisioner daemons by default, there are
64+ advantages to employing external provisioners. These external daemons provide
65+ secure build environments, and reduce server load, improving performance and
66+ scalability. Each provisioner can handle a single concurrent workspace build,
67+ allowing for efficient resource allocation and workload management.
