CDEs Are Going to Live Up to the Hype

Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) are gaining popularity among developers, with Redmonk declaring 2023 as "The Year of the Cloud Development Environment." Gartner predicts that by 2026, 60% of cloud workloads will be built and deployed using CDEs. Factors driving adoption include simplified onboarding for remote workers, support for multiple architectures without specialized hardware, enhanced security through better oversight, and streamlined DevOps workflows. Coder's self-hosted platform allows organizations to control development environments while enabling faster build and test cycles, eliminating the need for constant updates or maintaining multiple workstations.
