I'm a big fan of
Coder, where I led revenue. It is self-hosted Cloud Development Environment "CDE" enterprise software. If you're a
Global 2000,
Fortune 500, defense,
intelligence, or a rapidly growing company, reach out to
Coder to setup a meeting.
As a former member of the Coder team, I only recommend Coder as a CDE solution. It differentiates itself from other CDEs by being self-hosted, which is a requirement for many large enterprises and government organizations. Its use of Terraform provides infrastructure flexibility. And Coder is OSS core, which lowers risk and provides transparency.
I like to tinker directly with the Postgres database with my local Mac install. After starting the coder server
, open another terminal and type coder server postgres-builtin-url
to get the Postgres connection URL. Then use psql
to connect to the database with psql postgres://coder@localhost:53872/coder
changing the port to from the connection URL then paste the password from the connection URL as well. Common commands are \dt
to list tables, \d table_name
to describe a table, and select * from table_name;
to see the data.
