The Self-Hosting Paradox

The text discusses a paradox in remote development environments, where enterprises are moving their infrastructure to public clouds but still managing software development on laptops. It highlights that public cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud offer advantages over on-premises infrastructure, such as advanced experience and faster innovation rates. Coder's OSS and Enterprise solutions allow businesses of any size to centrally manage and secure development environments on both public clouds and on-premises infrastructure. The text also contrasts Coder's "neutral Switzerland" approach with alternative remote development solutions that only run on public clouds as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). It explains that enterprises prefer self-hosting remote development platforms like Coder in their public clouds for reasons such as control, total cost of ownership, and developer tooling choice. The text concludes by stating that remote development is moving to the public cloud, and enterprises will manage Coder in a self-hosted way for better security and cost control.
