Key Takeaways
How It Works
Coder uses Terraform to define workspaces, which include the necessary IDEs and dependencies for development. It connects these workspaces through a secure Wireguard tunnel and runs AI coding agents in the control plane of your infrastructure, ensuring that no API keys are required within the workspaces.
This setup allows for rapid onboarding and efficient resource management.
