I met one of the founders of Coder.com, he's a really cool dude. It's a pity that it is a product aimed more at enterprises than individual developers, else it would have far more developer mindshare.

Unlike, say, GitHub Codespaces, running something like this on your own infra means your incentives and Coder.com's are aligned, i.e. both of you want to reduce your cloud costs (as opposed to, say, GitHub running on Azure gives them an opportunity and incentive to mark up on Azure cloud costs).




It seems like a great product. I'm wondering why they don't offer more "startup-oriented" plans. It's like either Self Hosted or "Talk to sales". Is it maybe to not compete against Github codespaces?


Founder of Coder here. Many small (or teams at big) companies use Coder for free with <=150 devs just using our open-source.

We’ve tried to align our pricing with the value of the product. In small teams the productivity gains seem to be much lower, so we target Enterprise!


Speaking of ... https://coder.com/docs -- what's next is empty.
