Coder Unveils New Platform Capabilities as Enterprise Demand Grows

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Coder announced the availability of its latest version of Coder Enterprise, the platform for software development. Coder Enterprise automates the time-consuming, manual processes involved in creating and configuring development environments and enables engineers to work from anywhere and focus on writing code. The result is rapid and secure innovation in any software organization, no matter how complex or regulated.

This release includes both new powerful features and enhancements to existing functionality that increase productivity, security and collaboration for all software development teams. As part of today's announcement, Coder is also offering a free 12-month trial of Coder Enterprise for up to 10 users, providing organizations and developers with all of the features and benefits of the platform at zero cost for the first year.

"From the very beginning, Coder's mission has been to make developers happy," stated John Andrew Entwistle, CEO and co-founder of Coder. "We stand by that commitment by continuously driving innovation within the platform, and ensuring developers can continue to do the same for their organizations. I'm extremely proud of the work our team has done with this new release and even more excited to make it more accessible."

Coder Enterprise
Coder Enterprise centralizes an organization's development initiatives by moving software development to the cloud and unlocking substantial gains in both developer velocity and enterprise security. Developers can launch fully-configured development environments from approved images in seconds, eliminating hours of setup time and ensuring consistency across the team. Users can access these environments securely through a browser from any remote location. All code and data sets remain secured in the infrastructure and developers still get to use the IDEs, tools and languages they know and love. Coder Enterprise runs on any public or private cloud platform, and it can also be deployed on-premises within the VPC, including air-gapped networks.

As enterprise adoption increases, Coder continues to drive innovation to meet the needs of developers and organizations worldwide. New feature highlights include:

    --  Creating and Using Secrets via the Coder CLIWith Coder Enterprise,
        developers can now leverage Kubernetes' secrets store allowing
        organizations to create objects to store sensitive strings or
        user-specific values, such as passwords and client IDs/secrets securely.
        Developers can create and manage secrets using the Coder CLI, which is
        automatically injected into the environment on creation/rebuild for
        convenience. Admins can also set secrets on behalf of developers.

    --  Multi-Editor Support Unlike other similar products, Coder Enterprise
        supports most industry standard development environments, including VS
        Code, Jupyter Notebook, IntelliJ, Eclipse, PyCharm, and more.
        Multi-editor support is bundled with a window management system to give
        the look and feel of a native local application. This provides the best
        of both worlds -- the security and productivity of remote infrastructure
        with the native look and feel of the local machine.

    --  ServicesOrganizations can add services via Coder Enterprise, which are
        sidecar containers that run alongside the primary development
        environment. Services are especially useful for databases, API servers,
        or other stand-alone applications where the setup process may be more
        complex and time-consuming for individual users to complete on an ad hoc
        basis. Once a service is defined for Coder Enterprise deployment, it is
        available to all of the users in an organization (each user will receive
        their own instance of the service).

    --  Automatic Creation of .gitconfig FilesAutomatically create a .gitconfig
        file that has been pre-filled with the user's name and email address.

    --  MetricsCoder Enterprise now includes metrics, which allows developers to
        track the time spent working in a specific environment and time spent
        using certain Coder features (e.g., Coder vs. Terminal vs. SSH vs.
        Sync). Admin users can view this data on a per-organization or per-user
        basis, offering insight into which environments and which features are
        most helpful to end-users.

    --  Dev URLsDeveloper (Dev) URLs allow users to access the ports of services
        they are developing within their environment. The URLs can be public,
        private, available to a subset of users, or to anyone logged in to an
        instance of Coder Enterprise. This enables developers to test the
        application as it is being developed in real-time.

    --  Improvements to the Coder Enterprise User InterfaceCoder implemented
        several new interfaces for the following Coder Enterprise functions,
        providing for a more fluid, seamless user experience that makes the
        process of performing the following tasks faster and easier:
        --  Creating and editing a service
        --  Importing an image
        --  Creating and editing an environment
        --  Creating and managing your organization settings

The latest version of the Coder Enterprise is available now. For more information and to learn more about the free 12-month trial, please visit https://info.coder.com/coder-sign-up.
