Coder vs.
OpenShift Dev Spaces

Both solutions are fully self-hosted and self-maintained affording users the choice of sovereign, isolated deployments. OpenShift’s hybrid cloud features allow for a multi-cloud capable CDE, however OpenShift is required to orchestrate the workspace pods. Workspace extensibility and tooling are also tightly coupled with OpenShift features. Coder on the other hand is fully agnostic allowing users to run on any tools on any provider and deploy workspaces on any platform.
