TLDR: Coder, an AI software development company, has unveiled a significant platform upgrade designed for enterprise teams utilizing AI coding agents. This new offering provides secure, self-hosted AI Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) that integrate full-featured IDEs, dynamic policy governance, and seamless agent orchestration within an organization’s own infrastructure, addressing the unique challenges of deploying AI in enterprise software development.
AUSTIN, TX – Coder, a leading AI software development company, announced on July 7, 2025, a major platform upgrade aimed at empowering enterprise teams to securely integrate AI coding agents into their development workflows. This release is poised to bridge the gap between the burgeoning potential of AI technologies and their practical, secure application in real-world enterprise software development environments.
The core of Coder’s new offering lies in its AI Cloud Development Environments (CDEs). These CDEs are designed to combine full-featured Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) with dynamic policy governance and seamless agent orchestration, all operating within the enterprise’s controlled infrastructure. This approach ensures that AI-assisted coding can be adopted into daily enterprise software development workflows without compromising security or compliance.
Rob Whiteley, CEO of Coder, emphasized the evolving landscape of software development, stating, “The future of software development is clear: human developers collaborating with autonomous coding agents.” He further highlighted a critical need, adding, “The latest frontier models have demonstrated the potential of agentic coding, while also revealing a key requirement: each agent needs its own secure development environment. Yet today’s solutions often lack the enterprise-grade security, auditability, and control necessary for large organizations.” Coder’s platform directly addresses these challenges.
The upgraded platform introduces several key enhancements to boost both agentic AI and human productivity:
AI Workspaces: These are fully isolated, ephemeral environments where AI agents and human developers can collaborate side-by-side, maintaining full context and control over their work.
Agent Boundaries: A dual-firewall model is implemented to precisely scope agent access, ensuring robust security without hindering productivity.
Coder Tasks: This feature provides a unified interface for running and managing AI agents with complete context, isolation, and control.
Prebuilt Workspaces: Development can commence instantly on any branch, significantly reducing setup time for both AI agents and human developers.
Jacqueline Lee, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, commented on the practical benefits, stating, “How engineers develop is growing and evolving quickly, especially as we introduce Claude Code internally. With Coder’s flexible architecture, we can seamlessly support developer environments for both humans and AI agents while keeping our engineers productive.”
The company noted that as AI transforms how code is written, tested, and shipped, enterprises face the challenge that infrastructure built for humans is often not suitable for AI agents. Agents require secure environments, granular permissions, rapid boot times, and full toolchain access, all while adhering to stringent governance and compliance standards. Coder’s self-hosted solution provides the necessary control over data, code, and security configurations, making it ideal for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements or those operating in highly regulated or air-gapped environments.
