Coder is a self-hosted remote development platform that shifts software development from local machines to the cloud, enabling quick onboarding, software development from anywhere, and code building on powerful servers—all while keeping source code and data secure behind your firewall.

What if I told you that you are developing your applications the wrong way? Yes, even in 2025! Think about it: We host our applications in the cloud, our CI/CD pipelines run in the cloud, our code is stored in the cloud (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)... but where do we actually write and test that code? Often, it's stuck on our local machines. 

But What happens if you break your computer, well your code is safe, its stored in the cloud, but what about your dev environment. Reinstalling everything would take days and it would be a huge headache. But what if we could also put our dev environment into the cloud? How about the cloud development environment?

The Right Way to Develop Modern Applications  (You're Probably Doing It Wrong)

In this panel discussion, experts from Coder, Skydio, and Splunk dive into the evolution of Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) and what the future holds for developers, platform engineers, and product teams.

Join Elliot Graebert (Sr. Director of Engineering, Skydio), Michael Steele (Sr. Principal Engineer, Splunk), Ben Potter (VP of Product, Coder), and Jess Sweet (Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Coder) as they explore:

- What CDEs mean for modern development
- How leading teams are adopting and evolving their dev environments
- The shift from local to ephemeral cloud-based workspaces
- How AI is being integrated into engineering workflows
- What's next for dev tooling, security, and productivity
- And lightning-round predictions on the future of coding, infrastructure, and team structure

Whether you're a software engineer, DevOps lead, or engineering manager, this conversation is packed with insights on how to reduce friction and empower flow in your development lifecycle.

From Friction to Flow: A Conversation on the Future of Dev Environments

Running AI models on a personal machine might seem convenient—but is it really secure? In this video, we walk through three approaches to running AI workloads: starting with local tools like Ollama, then using Docker for added isolation, and finally spinning up fully customizable, cloud-hosted development environments with Coder.

In this video, you’ll learn:

- Why we don’t trust running AI models directly on our own machines

- How to use Docker to safely isolate AI workloads

- How to spin up secure, cloud-based dev environments with Coder

- How Coder templates can help teams standardize environments with tools like Ollama and LLaMA pre-installed

Whether you're an AI engineer, a curious developer, or part of a team that needs consistent, secure setups, this video shows how to run AI workloads the right way.

Using the Power of AI to Improve Code Quality & Collaboration

Many organizations have embraced the cloud for deploying software, but they still rely on local machines for development. Isn’t it time to bring development into the cloud too? Many are still building work-alikes on their laptops, or using shadow IT when local resources become a constraint. Deploying a Cloud Development Environment (CDE) that is secure, stable, scalable, and loved by developers is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. This talk presents the process behind deploying a robust CDE that becomes a competitive advantage for your organization. 

Attendees will learn how to leverage cloud-native technologies to build scalable CDEs that maintain both performance and developer experience. This talk will focus on:

Key characteristics of an effective CDE: Automation, self-service, resource efficiency, and flexibility—ensuring resilience and adaptability for a growing organization.

Beyond the technology: Measuring and improving developer experience at scale, justifying costs, fostering cross-functional collaboration, planning migrations, and securing executive sponsorship.

Practical insights for long-term impact: Incremental steps to transform a CDE into a strategic asset—accelerating innovation, reducing time-to-market, and promoting continuous improvement. 

Whether you’re an engineering manager, DevOps professional, or CTO, this session will empower you with the knowledge to deploy a CDE that evolves into a strategic advantage for your organization.
