## What it is
Coder is a self-hosted platform for provisioning cloud development environments (workspaces) defined with Terraform, accessible via VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, and other IDEs over secure Wireguard tunnels. It also runs AI coding agents on your own infrastructure with centralized LLM governance, cost tracking, and audit logging.

## Use cases
- onboard developers with ready-to-code cloud workspaces in seconds
- define dev environments as code with Terraform templates
- run AI coding agents on self-hosted infrastructure without exposing API keys
- automatically shut down idle workspaces to cut cloud costs
- connect remote workspaces from VS Code, JetBrains, or Cursor
- centralize LLM model governance and audit logging for AI tooling
- run dev containers as managed sub-agents
- enforce security and compliance for remote development in regulated industries

## When to choose
- you need self-hosted, secure remote development environments at team or enterprise scale
- you want to run AI coding agents with governance, identity, and no credentials in workspaces
- you want infrastructure-as-code defined dev environments across VMs, Kubernetes, or Docker
- compliance or network isolation prevents using public cloud IDEs

## When to avoid
- you are a solo developer who just needs a local editor and container
- you want a fully managed SaaS with zero infrastructure to operate
- you need only simple port forwarding or SSH without workspace lifecycle management
