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 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.

Exploring the Future of  Cloud Development Environments

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

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.
