License: AGPL-3.0 — Core is AGPL-3.0; Enterprise (audit, RBAC, multi-cluster) is paid.
Good fit for Teams that want Codespaces-shaped per-developer environments backed by their own infrastructure (k8s cluster, VPS pool, cloud).
Weak at Operational surface — you manage the underlying compute; not a one-binary install.

Run `docker run -d -p 7080:7080 -e CODER_HTTP_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:7080 ghcr.io/coder/coder:latest`. Define a workspace template in Terraform (workspace = a Docker container or k8s pod or AWS instance). `devcontainer.json` from your repo can be referenced directly via the official devcontainer template. Developers connect via browser VS Code, JetBrains Gateway, or `coder ssh` for a local terminal.
