Case Study: Discord improves developer experience with Coder cloud development environments

Discord’s Journey to Cloud Development with Coder

Discord, an instant messaging and video social platform, faced challenges with high support costs due to inconsistent development environments across its geographically dispersed team using different operating systems. This problem was compounded by the company's rapid growth. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Coder to implement cloud development environments (CDEs).

Coder provided a solution using its platform to supply Discord's engineers with consistent, reproducible development environments running on virtual machines in the cloud. This migration, which began with Coder v1 and later upgraded to v2, resulted in an improved developer experience. The flexibility of the solution encouraged greater adoption of new functionality among developers.
