Coder is a self-hosted, open source, cloud development environment that works

with any cloud, IDE, OS, Git provider, and IDP.

_Screenshots of Coder workspaces and connections_

Coder is built on common development interfaces and infrastructure tools to

make the process of provisioning and accessing remote workspaces approachable

for organizations of various sizes and stages of cloud-native maturity.

You can use:

- Any Web IDE, such as

- [code-server](https://github.com/coder/code-server)

- [JetBrains Projector](https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-server)

- [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/)

- And others

- [JetBrains Gateway](https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/gateway/)

- [VS Code Remote](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh-tutorial)

- [Emacs](./user-guides/workspace-access/emacs-tramp.md)

- A file sync such as [Mutagen](https://mutagen.io/)

Remote development offers several benefits for users and administrators, including:

- **Increased speed**

- Server-grade cloud hardware speeds up operations in software development, from

loading the IDE to compiling and building code, and running large workloads

such as those for monolith or microservice applications.

- **Easier environment management**

- Built-in infrastructure tools such as Terraform, nix, Docker, Dev Containers, and others make it easier to onboard developers with consistent environments.

- **Increased security**

- Centralize source code and other data onto private servers or cloud services instead of local developers' machines.

- Manage users and groups with [SSO](./admin/users/oidc-auth.md) and [Role-based access controlled (RBAC)](./admin/users/groups-roles.md#roles).

- **Improved compatibility**

- Remote workspaces can share infrastructure configurations with other

development, staging, and production environments, reducing configuration

drift.

- **Improved accessibility**

- Connect to remote workspaces via browser-based IDEs or remote IDE

extensions to enable developers regardless of the device they use, whether

it's their main device, a lightweight laptop, Chromebook, or iPad.

development on [our blog](https://coder.com/blog), the

or from [OpenFaaS's Alex Ellis](https://blog.alexellis.io/the-internet-is-my-computer/).

The key difference between Coder and other remote IDE platforms is the added

layer of infrastructure control.

This additional layer allows admins to:

- Simultaneously support ARM, Windows, Linux, and macOS workspaces.

- Modify pod/container specs, such as adding disks, managing network policies, or

setting/updating environment variables.

- Use VM or dedicated workspaces, developing with Kernel features (no container

knowledge required).

Coder is free and open source under

[GNU Affero General Public License v3.0](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/LICENSE).

All developer productivity features are included in the Open Source version of

Coder.

A [Premium license is available](https://coder.com/pricing#compare-plans) for enhanced

support options and custom deployments.

Coder workspaces are represented with Terraform, but you don't need to know

Terraform to get started.

We have a [database of production-ready templates](https://registry.coder.com/templates)

for use with AWS EC2, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and more.

_Providers and compute environments_

Coder workspaces can be used for more than just compute.

You can use Terraform to add storage buckets, secrets, sidecars,

[and more](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials).

Visit the [templates documentation](./admin/templates/index.md) to learn more.

- Coder is not an infrastructure as code (IaC) platform.

- Terraform is the first IaC _provisioner_ in Coder, allowing Coder admins to

define Terraform resources as Coder workspaces.

- Coder is not a DevOps/CI platform.

- Coder workspaces can be configured to follow best practices for

cloud-service-based workloads, but Coder is not responsible for how you

define or deploy the software you write.

- Coder is not an online IDE.

- Coder supports common editors, such as VS Code, vim, and JetBrains,

all over HTTPS or SSH.

- Coder is not a collaboration platform.

- You can use Git with your favorite Git platform and dedicated IDE

extensions for pull requests, code reviews, and pair programming.

- Coder is not a SaaS/fully-managed offering.

- Coder is a [self-hosted](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(web_services)>)

solution.

You must host Coder in a private data center or on a cloud service, such as

AWS, Azure, or GCP.

If you're a Coder v1 customer, view [the v1 documentation](https://coder.com/docs/v1)

or [the v2 migration guide and FAQ](https://coder.com/docs/v1/guides/v2-faq).

We support two release channels:

[mainline](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.16.0) for the bleeding

edge version of Coder and

[stable](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/latest) for those with lower

before promoting them to stable. The version prior to stable receives patches

only for security issues or CVEs.

- All bugfixes and security patches are supported

- In-product security vulnerabilities and CVEs are supported
