Ready for enterprise. Onboard developers in minutes, govern AI coding agents at scale, and centralize valuable source code. Coder meets you where you work, using the tools and infrastructure you already trust. [Install Coder](https://coder.com/docs/install)[See Coder in action](https://coder.com/demo) ## Fast onboarding. Secure environments. Smarter cloud spend. ### Govern AI coding agents at scale Provide AI coding agents with isolated, governed development environments to safely write and test code. ### Accelerate onboarding Spin up secure, pre-configured workspaces in minutes instead of days. No local configurations required. ### Secure source code Move sensitive code and data off developer laptops and into your centralized infrastructure, where it’s protected by your existing policies. ### Optimize compute Auto-stop idle workspaces, enforce resource quotas, and get real-time usage insights to protect your cloud costs. ### Offload ML workloads Give ML engineers access to powerful cloud GPUs, data lakes, and model training pipelines without risk. ### Replace VDI for developers Deliver a performant developer experience, free of the lag, frustrations, and growing costs of virtual desktops. ### Enterprises deploying Coder at scale ![Square Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fsquare-black.c95871e2.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ![Dropbox Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fdropbox.38894a68.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ![Palantir Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fpalantir.8f79f884.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ![Mercedes Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fmercedes-black.0e4343d7.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ![KKR Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fkkr-black.0baaf45c.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ### For those who create, and those who clear the way. ## Platform Engineers ### Delivering consistent environments at scale becomes simple with a platform that speeds up onboarding and drastically cuts down support queues. - Define workspaces as code using Terraform, enabling repeatable, auditable provisioning. - Enforce organization-wide guardrails with custom templates, RBAC, and access policies. - Integrate with your existing identity, secrets, image registry, and observability stack. No vendor lock-in. ![Two Column Platform Engineers](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Ftwo-col-platform-engineers.cfd4ee4c.jpg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ## Software Developers ### Fast, secure, and reliable development environments are always ready. No setup scripts, no waiting, no outdated READMEs. - Launch a workspace in seconds with pre-configured templates tailored to your stack. - Access powerful remote compute from anywhere, using the IDEs and tools you already love. - Stop, resume, or scale your workspace resources as needed, without losing context or data. ![Two Column Software Developers](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Ftwo-col-software-developers.d3eff527.jpg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ## ML Developers ### Run intensive workloads on cloud-based infrastructure that gives you secure access to the on-demand compute and data you need. - Access powerful cloud-based GPUs and CPUs without waiting for shared resources or overloading local machines. - Work in familiar tools like Jupyter, VS Code, and other ML frameworks pre-configured in your workspace. - Connect securely to full datasets, cloud buckets, and enterprise databases located near your compute. ![Two Column ML Developers](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Ftwo-col-ml-developers.4ec6dba4.jpg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ## Executives & Engineering Leaders ### Provide your developers with a secure, scalable environment where they can collaborate with agentic AI, all while maintaining the control and governance your enterprise requires. - Enable responsible AI adoption by running AI agents inside secure, auditable environments. - Improve DevEx with powerful, reliable environments that improve productivity and long-term retention. - Mitigate risk by centralizing source code on your cloud and removing sensitive data from developer laptops. ![Two Column Executives](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Ftwo-col-executives.68864a2c.jpg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) ![Discord Logo](https://coder.com/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2Fdiscord-black.bef6ca10.svg&w=2048&q=75&dpl=dpl_DbpBTUPDzZTEC7bBcsLHio9qZCAQ) > Now, with a highly distributed Discord engineering team, we are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Coder.
