The UI is very intuitive, it integrates smoothly with many of the products we already use, and the community support has been fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model could use a bit of adjustment for smaller businesses, but beyond that I don’t have much negative to say about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coder has really helped our team improve collaboration and streamline our workflow in our environment. It’s boosted productivity across the group by centralizing our IDE platform in one place, which makes it easier for everyone to stay aligned.
Streamlined DevOps with Terraform-Powered Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the out-of-the-box integrations that Coder has. We can deploy on AWS, Azure, on-prem with Docker, and that's super flexible for us. Plus, being based on Terraform is a huge plus since we already use Terraform for infrastructure-as-code in production. It reduces IT and DevOps overhead because we can use the same tool for our DevOps processes. Coder makes it easy to manage developer instances and keep things uniform across our team. It also enhances security by keeping code on remote servers rather than on user devices. Coder simplifies managing VMs and data persistence, which would be more complicated and painful without it. Alongside that, using Coder with VSCode works really well for me, which I find beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think project organization/organizing workspaces. Maybe some folder structure or way to organize a bunch of individual projects. In general, I feel like it is hard to deploy one Coder instance company wide—there lacks segmentation that you would want between teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder to provision workspaces for projects needing more compute than my laptop handles. It manages developer instances, providing uniformity and security with all code on remote servers. It reduces IT overhead related to VM management and data persistence, simplifying scaling.
Smooth Setup with Strong Open Source Roots
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate that Coder is open source, or at least parts of it, like the core, which means I don't have to worry about vendor lock-in. The company's commitment to open source is really great to see. The application is very smooth and well thought out, making it really nice to use. Coder's main differentiator is that it's super smooth, and they clearly understand developers and what it takes to create good environments. It integrates with Visual Studio Code and Cursor super nicely, allowing me to quickly jump into cloud environments and works super smoothly. Also, the initial setup is super fast, although there's a lot of space to customize as you get going.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing for their AI task feature is a little bit unreasonable. Besides that, some of their documentation could be a little bit better. The information is out there, but you sometimes need to jump into the source code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder to quickly set up cloud coding environments without conflicts. It streamlines having everything installed and ready.
Effortless Workspace Provisioning with Endless Expansion
What do you like best about the product?
I love that all the underlying infrastructure in Coder is written and stored in Terraform, which makes the possibilities for extension and expansion endless. I can run workspaces on anything from Kubernetes clusters to Virtual machines and EC2 instances with just a couple of Terraform modules, and this is all transparent to the user. I also recently discovered the marketplace of modules for connection, which really sets Coder apart. Additionally, the initial setup of Coder for my team was extremely easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe improving documentation on how to securely enable the docker socket when inside a K8s container as I had a lot of trouble with that when first starting out and couldn't find comprehensive docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder to provision workspaces, eliminating local development. Coder's Terraform infrastructure offers endless extension possibilities across various platforms, and its module marketplace sets it apart. Initial setup was extremely easy, though better docs on enabling Docker socket securely in K8s could help.
Easy UI but Needs Better Workspace Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Coder supports Terraform documents and that it's easy to use. It makes it easy to spin up and spin down containerized environments in a UI that's easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm unable to delete workspaces sometimes. The update workspace feature has never worked for me. It was very difficult to figure out how to set up Terraform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder for managing containerized environments. It makes spinning them up and down easy with a user-friendly UI. I appreciate its support for Terraform documents, allowing usage across different places.
Centralized Development Made Easy with Coder
What do you like best about the product?
Coder allows me to create centralized and isolated development environments for each of my distinct and unrelated codebases. It keeps the environments isolated, so dependencies and tooling for one project don't interfere with another. I also appreciate how it allows me to work seamlessly from different devices without needing to keep environments in sync. The centralized environments make backups simple since I only need to back up the server where they're running. It’s flexible enough for both work and personal projects, and I can use whatever custom tooling I need. A definite perk is being able to give others access to what I’m working on without keeping my laptop online. Also, I can completely customize the workspace to match the different projects and programming languages I work with. It's a huge time saver, especially with updating projects that have the same requirements all at once. Also, allowing temporary access for others is incredibly simple and straightforward with Coder, letting me seek feedback easily without exposing my projects to the internet longer than necessary. Setting up Coder was a piece of cake on my Kubernetes cluster, and it took no time at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Genuinely I haven't found anything I dislike yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder to create centralized, isolated environments. It keeps my projects' dependencies separate, allows seamless work from any device, and simplifies backups by centralizing them on a server.
Programming Made Easy with Coder
What do you like best about the product?
I use Coder to program my projects across different devices, which allows me to conveniently start on the computer and seamlessly continue on the iPad while on the go. I greatly appreciate that thanks to Coder and Devcontainers, I have exactly the dependencies needed for each project available in VSCode and the toolchain. I particularly like the simplicity of starting VMs and distributing them to others, as it allows me to get started right away and implement my ideas without having to wait long or perform extensive installations. Additionally, the initial setup of Coder was super easy, only one command was necessary, and the migration to Docker Compose was straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't managed to get Docker image caching working with the dev containers yet, but maybe it's just me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Coder, I can program projects on different devices, which gives me flexibility. It ensures that I always have the right dependencies for each project and makes it easy to start VMs, so I can quickly get started with my ideas.
Code: Rigorous Isolation and Simplified Deployment
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the user-friendly interface of Coder, which makes it enjoyable to use. The workspace update system is also a plus, as is the overall stability of the platform. I also like that it allows each development to be isolated and to have different URLs for testing, which is very practical. Moreover, the integration of AI to assist in development is a considerable advantage for me. The initial deployment went well thanks to the Helm Chart.
What do you dislike about the product?
the creation of templates to create workspaces is not straightforward, considering that we are using Kubernetes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
