Koding is a development environment automation platform owned by Koding, Inc. which allows software developers define their development environments in a definition file, called "stack script" this file then calls to various cloud providers to provision defined development environment. This file is visible to the entire team and can be updated by the administrators of the account. Environments that are provisioned by this file can be shared in a web browser without the needs of downloading the software development kits - developers are also able to download a command line tool called "kd" which allows them to mount provisioned VMs to their computers thus enabling development using developers' local IDEs. Since the platform is able to create linux VMs it supports multiple programming languages, including C, C++, Go, Java, Node.js, Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby. [4] name=ram
