Transforming Development Workflows with Coder: A DevOps Must-Have

If you’ve ever had to rebuild a dev environment from scratch, you know how painful it can be. Hours spent installing packages, syncing config files, troubleshooting weird edge cases, and praying that Docker behaves the same way it did yesterday. DevOps Engineer Caio Delgado has been through that grind more times than he can count across freelance projects, homelab experiments, and even client infrastructure. At one point, he tried scripting it all with Ansible just to keep things sane, but even that wasn’t smooth enough. That’s when he started looking for something better. Something that would let him: Spin up clean, isolated environments on demand Share setups across machines without dragging config drift Get the same environment—every time—whether he's on a laptop, a cloud VM, or a beefy desktop at home That search led him to Coder. In this video, he walks you through how he uses Coder to manage cloud-based dev environments—why it fits into his workflow, what problems it helped him solve, and how you can get started if you’re facing the same headaches.
