Remote development has become increasingly popular due to the shift towards remote work, with developers being well-suited for this model. Cloud-based development environments offer several benefits such as accessibility from anywhere, use of any device, and secure source code management. To ensure success in a remote development team, it is crucial to monitor and update workflows, maintain social connections, and embrace collaboration across different time zones and backgrounds. Coder's platform supports these best practices by providing cloud-powered development environments that can be accessed from any device while keeping the source code secure within the company's infrastructure.
