In this insightful conversation, Ben Potter, Head of Product at Coder, joins us at KubeCon to discuss the latest innovations in cloud developer environments (CDEs) and their growing role in platform engineering. Ben shares how Coder is streamlining the development process by providing secure, ready-to-use cloud instances on Kubernetes clusters, allowing developers to focus on coding rather than setup.
We dive into the differences between CDEs and internal developer portals (IDPs), the importance of security in development environments, and how AI and machine learning are being integrated into Coder's platform. Ben also introduces Coder’s new Backstage plugin, designed to offer a seamless setup for developers using cloud-based environments.
Whether you're dealing with multiple application environments or exploring the latest in cloud development, this interview is packed with valuable insights.
