Coder
Self-hosted platform for provisioning remote developer workspaces on any infrastructure (Kubernetes, VMs, cloud) via Terraform templates, similar to GitHub Codespaces but infrastructure-agnostic.

⚙ Full Stack
Go control-plane server backed by Postgres, using Terraform providers to provision workspaces on the target infrastructure, with a web UI and CLI (coder ssh) for developer access.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The control plane is a modern stateless-server-plus-Postgres design that scales horizontally with multiple replicas, and per-workspace pods scale independently of each other. The main constraint is the underlying infrastructure's capacity for concurrent workspaces, not Coder's own control-plane architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy the control-plane server as a pod plus a postgres pod at coder-postgres.pod:5432; workspace provisioning itself will typically create additional pods per developer workspace via the Kubernetes provisioner. Mirror the official image via mirror.gcr.io and ensure the CODER_ACCESS_URL env var matches the platform's public URL exactly, since Coder embeds it into workspace connection strings.
