Boost Developer Productivity with Cloud Development Environments

Platform engineering is having its moment. Developer tools like Spotify's Backstage solve the problem of discoverability in large engineering teams by providing a one-stop source of truth through developer portals. But what then? How do you go from finding a repo to committing a PR in the shortest time possible? Coder has the solution – bring CDEs to Backstage.

Join this webinar to learn:
- The problem of discoverability in large companies and how solutions like Backstage solve it by centralizing and organizing everything under one developer portal.
- The “gap” that still exists between discovering something you need to work with and actually writing code. How do you get your environment set up? How do you ensure security? These questions don’t always have obvious answers, especially for engineers who don’t have a platform engineering background.
- How Coder’s plugin for Backstage lets developers close that gap and get up and running with a new repo in no time

Coder with Backstage: The Missing Link in Developer Productivity

In this presentation, we’ll share stories of how several organizations built an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) around where developers spend the majority of their time; the development environment.

In this presentation, we’ll share stories of how several organizations built an IDP around where developers spend the majority of their time; the development environment. The integrated development environment (IDE) is sacred to the developer, so we’ll discuss strategies for surveying developers, identifying pilot groups, and improving efficiency without disrupting core workflows.

Building the Integrated Development Environment IDE Golden Path

Need a self-hosted, fully supported cloud development environment that runs on pretty much any architecture? Check out Coder!

Shift left on your developer runtimes while retaining control of your IP and infrastructure — without investing in a from-scratch platform engineering build-out. In this hands-on workshop, the Coder team demonstrates how to deploy, manage, and use Coder in a flexible and secure environment. Participants will learn how to self-host their CDE with Coder and keep developers in flow.

Accelerate Cloud Native Development with Coder

We’ve all been there. We messed up our environment because we installed something for a new project. We dropped our laptop, and boom, it was time for a new one. Or maybe you just upgraded to a new one — unless you have a Framework, amirite?

Going through and having to set things up again can be fun, don’t get us wrong — but not when you’re under a deadline. We’re exploring Coder.com, which sponsored this video. 

Think of your computer as a thin client, and all of your development takes place in an orchestrated self-hosted (YAY FOR FREE STUFF) solution. In a team environment, you can use hosted solutions like Digital Ocean, AWS EC2 instances, and more. 

In this video, we’re going to demonstrate just how straightforward it is to get started — even hosting this on your local machine. With a few simple configurations, you can click a button and have a pristine environment dedicated to your project. 

But what about your Neovim configs? Tmux or Zellij? No worries. You can have these setups ready every time you ssh in. More of a VS Code user? The user-friendly interface offers a one-click solution that instantly drops you in your project in VS Code.

There’s a lot to like about Coder — from being free for self-hosting to just making it easier to get in and ship features without dealing with “works on my machine” or worse, it doesn’t work on my machine because of an environmental issue.

Let’s get after it.

Enterprises have shifted left with DevOps, PlatformOps, and CI/CD, but what about engineers’ primary responsibility? Writing code.

Engineers are forced to cram giant, decades-old codebases onto laptops or – even worse – VDI machines. Every day, enterprise engineers wrestle with environments to get access to tools and infrastructure rather than cranking out code from their favorite IDE. Attendees will learn how Cloud Development Environments are used in the enterprise to onboard developers, unblock new technologies, and keep developers in flow.
