DX and Coder announce partnership
Customers can use DX to study Coder's impact on their engineering organization.
At DX, we help engineering leaders measure developer productivity and get recommendations on how to improve. Accordingly, our customers frequently ask us for our perspectives on best-in-class tools that can help them deliver improvements.
To provide objective recommendations, we partner with forward-thinking vendors to study and measure the effectiveness of their products. By leveraging measurements such as the DX Core 4, DXI, and Experiencing Sampling we can draw a direct line between the use of specific tools and developer productivity.
As budgets tighten, there is growing pressure on engineering leaders to validate that tooling investments are delivering the impact they promise. Leadership is demanding concrete data to justify costs, and relying on gut feeling is no longer sufficient. To make informed decisions, organizations need validated data that directly tie their investments to business outcomes.
Partnering with Coder
With this focus in mind, we’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Coder. Coder provides a cloud-based development platform that eliminates the configuration headaches of traditional local development, enabling engineers to start coding instantly on secure, pre-configured environments—wherever they are. By reducing setup time, minimizing context switching, and providing consistent workspaces, Coder helps developers and teams move faster and be more efficient.
We’re seeing developer productivity teams increasingly adopt cloud development environments (CDEs) to improve environment setup time, time for deep work, and onboarding speed (as measured by Time to 1st PR and Time to 10th PR).
Through our partnership, we will study Coder’s impact on developer productivity and share our learnings with the broader engineering community. As a part of this partnership, Coder customers will gain unique access to DX’s measurement and benchmarking capabilities to help them better understand and optimize their use of Coder.
We invite all customers of Coder, as well as those evaluating it, to leverage DX to measure your current state of productivity and assess the benefit that Coder can bring to your organization.
Like DX, Coder is committed to helping their customers reduce developer toil, increase engineering velocity, and make data-informed decisions about their investments. We’re excited to partner with them on this shared mission.
What’s next
DX will continue working with companies to help them study the impact of using tools like Coder and gain insights into how to improve adoption. We look forward to sharing findings from this work along the way.
If you’re using or evaluating Coder and want to measure the impact it’s having, we’d love to help. Reach out to us to learn how DX can support your efforts and help you make the most of Coder’s capabilities.
