January 2021 Summaries

Symphony AyasdiAI, a company that provides artificial intelligence platforms for financial services, has implemented Coder's enterprise solution to streamline its development process. The company previously faced challenges with inconsistent development environments and lengthy onboarding times due to its global workforce. By using Coder, developers can now access consistent cloud-based workspaces regardless of their hardware or location, leading to reduced costs and faster onboarding times. Chris Kacerguis, the senior director of application architecture at Symphony AyasdiAI, believes that Coder's flexibility and ease of use make it a valuable tool for both developers and other teams within the company.

CodeTour is a VS Code extension that helps development teams visually explain their codebase through a series of tour "steps." Unlike traditional onboarding methods, CodeTour integrates directly into the developer's IDE and supports markdown, linking to other steps or tours, and interactive prompts. By using CodeTour in conjunction with Coder, teams can source-control their development environments and run them in the cloud, streamlining the onboarding process for new developers.
