Exploring code-server and Coder: Unleashing the Power of Web-Based Development Environments

A Meetup is being hosted at the Austin Office on September 24th, 2024. Interested attendees or speakers are encouraged to sign up. The event will cover cloud-based development environments, specifically code-server and Coder. Code-server is an open-source project that transforms Visual Studio Code into a server, enabling remote access from any device with internet connection. It maintains consistent development environments across diverse devices. On the other hand, Coder is an open-source platform for creating and managing developer workspaces on preferred clouds and servers. It simplifies the process of provisioning and accessing remote workspaces using common development interfaces (SSH) and infrastructure tools (Terraform). Both code-server and Coder are free and secure options to consider, with Coder offering enhanced IDE support, on-demand development environments, a dedicated workspace, cost-effective computing, and an improved developer experience.
