Quartz is a deterministic time testing library for Go, designed to help developers write repeatable and reliable tests for code that depends on time. It addresses common issues with time-dependent code such as flaky tests, race conditions, and non-deterministic behavior. By mocking out calls that query or depend on the real time, Quartz enables unit tests that are repeatable, deterministic, and execute as quickly as the CPU allows. The library includes features like trapping clock calls, waiting for advancements in time, and ensuring a well-defined state of both the clock and the unit under test to prevent flakes and races.

Coder has been named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Cloud Development Environments, 2024 report. The recognition highlights Coder's focus on developing cloud development environments (CDEs) that make developers' lives easier and provide a seamless user experience while giving organizations a path to cost efficiency. Unlike most CDEs available via SaaS, Coder allows for self-hosting and centralization of source code, enabling better security by keeping intellectual property on the enterprise's infrastructure. This approach appeals to digital-native and digital-forward organizations that prefer self-hosting for improved security, compliance, and scaling.
