Koding offers an integrated development environment that lets developers code, run and collaborate in the browser using real development servers and virtual machines. Its product suite includes an online IDE, a browser-based terminal and community features for knowledge exchange and learning. Koding for Teams is a newer product aimed at remote interviewing, fast onboarding, real-time collaboration and building internal communities. The company also intends to target schools and universities to support STEM courses and intra-school learning. Led by Devrim Yasar and based in San Francisco, Koding plans to use recent funding to continue product development and expand its marketing and sales teams. The articles report a $10M Series B raise to support these efforts. Koding provides a browser-based, cloud staging environment that lets developers build, test, and share applications across languages including Java, NodeJS, Perl, Python, Ruby, C/C++, and Go. The platform emphasizes collaboration and community features—developers can share access to development environments, swap code, and roll back revisions tracked by the system. Koding launched beta in March; by July it had about 10,000 developers with roughly 70% of invitees signing up, and has since opened to 30,000 beta users with a waitlist near 200,000. Headcount has grown to 13 employees from four earlier in the spring. CEO Devrim Yasar says the company plans to hire business development staff to sell into universities and organizations as it prepares to exit private beta. The company confirmed a $7.25M Series B and previously raised $2M in the spring to support growth. Koding provides a browser-based cloud development platform and community that lets developers program remotely, with a functional in-browser terminal connected to free hosted servers. The platform supports multiple languages including Ruby, Python, C++, PHP, Perl, and Node.js, and can configure WordPress, Joomla, and web servers. Developers can authorize others to work on their environments for easy collaboration and community interaction. Koding emphasizes security and aims to remove setup friction so programmers can focus on coding instead of tooling. The company has attracted over 40,000 signups (after an initial 10,000 users in the first two weeks of its first iteration). Using its new funding Koding is expanding product work and paying for a new office as it pursues broader adoption and deeper integration into developer workflows.
