Our take
In order to work at the "speed of thought", developers need coding tools that support their processes instead of slowing them down. This is exactly what Coder provides, with a platform that enables organizations to build their own development platform in the cloud.
The platform is built for enterprise scale, and supports remote teams - a crucial selling point for businesses with increasingly distributed workforces. It is also the first platform to be self-hosted, open source and compatible with any cloud, IDE, OS, Git provider or IDP.
It is these features that make Coder a strong option in the market, with the potential to accelerate and improve the developer experience. In 2024, it raised a substantial Series B funding round that has gone towards product expansion, accelerating its cloud development environment, and expanding across EMEA. Its platform is now used by the likes of Infosys, Mercedes-Benz and Goldman Sachs, and in 2026, it was featured on the US Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the Southwest.
