Coder, a Cloud Development Environment platform, offers a seamless integration with Microsoft's VS Code IDE through its extensions. The rich ecosystem of VS Code extensions enhances developer productivity, and Coder notices that GenAI solutions like GitHub Copilot rely on VS Code for their code generative AI magic. Coder provides a convenient way to access VS Code without requiring local software installation, making it suitable for enterprises with security requirements. Developers can choose between web VS Code and local VS Code, with the latter offering direct access to Microsoft's Extension Marketplace. Additionally, Coder offers Terraform modules and templates for easy deployment of VS Code Server, which can connect to Microsoft's Marketplace or self-hosted code-marketplace.
