Sponsored Session: Your Next Workstation Is In The Cloud
summary
Claims a self‑hosted cloud workstation platform (Coder) that replaces local machines, cuts onboarding toil dramatically (example given from 9 of 14 steps down to 2), and speeds tasks: nearly 5x faster repo clone, 3.5x faster frontend compilation, ~1.9x backend compile in a customer benchmark. Implements browser and SSH IDE access, workspace images as Terraform templates, scheduling/start‑stop, persistent disks, multi‑OS/arch support (Mac caveats), runs in containers/VMs or on Kubernetes, and offers OIDC and enterprise controls.
