Gitpod vs. Coder: the misconception of infrastructure choice

Gitpod and Coder are platforms for creating and managing development environments. The main difference between them is their developer experience and operational overhead. Coder is an open-source, self-hosted cloud development environment that requires significant maintenance due to infrastructure choices. On the other hand, Gitpod offers a vendor-managed solution with minimal customization but also limited compatibility with enterprise compliance requirements. Both platforms have pros and cons depending on the user's needs and resources.
