Coder

Coder builds a self-hosted development platform for cloud workspaces and for running parallel AI coding agents on customers' own infrastructure. The company's product, Coder Platform, defines environments as code using Terraform, allowing teams to provision any infrastructure, AI agent, operating system or IDE - from VMs to Kubernetes, and from Jupyter to VS Code. Governance policies and boundaries remain under the customer's control, a design principle the firm describes as open by design and secure by default.

The technical work spans several domains: cloud development environments, infrastructure as code, self-hosted platform engineering, Kubernetes and VM provisioning, AI coding agents, developer workflow tooling, and the policy controls that accompany governed AI adoption. The platform is deployed on customers' own infrastructure rather than as a hosted service, and it serves both individual developers and platform engineering teams.

Enterprise customers include Dropbox, Palantir, Discord, Mercedes-Benz and Goldman Sachs, spanning technology, enterprise software, automotive, financial services and consumer platforms. The company states that it was founded out of frustration with outdated developer workflows and a belief that there had to be a better way, with an emphasis on developer empowerment and on giving developers room to build.
