What is AWS Cloud9?

AWS Cloud9 is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) used to write, run, and debug code with just a browser. It includes a code editor, debugger, and terminal. Cloud9 comes prepackaged with essential tools for popular programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, and PHP, with no need to install files or configure a development machine to start new projects.

For those developing serverless applications, Cloud9 enables users to define resources, debug, and switch between local and remote execution of serverless applications. Cloud9 also allows users to share the development environment with a team, to pair program and track each other's inputs in real time.

We use [AWS] Cloud9 as an online IDE. It allows us to make code changes online and publish those changes. Developers can create their own workspaces and manage them online as well. It is currently being used by [the] services dept. for making changes to python scripts. We are going to be expanding its use to other programming languages. Over all it reduces the IT and development time and hence the costs. The code can be shared with other developers with ease.
  • Simulates the terminal with linux commands
  • Allows parallel development with various developers
  • Debugging code
  • Java/other languages debugging should be supported
  • Moving environment from one instance to another can be made more user friendly
Very well suited for purposes of development of applications using python/scripting languages. Code collaboration with other developers. Creation of workspaces online and sharing of code. Debugging the code online. Simulated terminal works quite well. Deploying changes to amazon services. Does not work quite well for Java/other languages. Moving of environments can be further enhanced.
  • Centralized IDE which does not require developers to download and mantain IDE
  • Code collaboration between developers
  • Coding with just a browser
  • AWS Cloud9 has a positive impact on the ROI in that the org. does not have to invest in another IDE like pycharm
  • [AWS] Cloud9 has browser based IDE so onboarding developers is quite easy
  • Code collaboration is great
[AWS] Cloud9 offers specific features not available in the competition: Code collaboration using the chat features is the highlight which sets it apart. [The] code completion feature makes [it] very similar to the offline IDE like eclipse. It's much easier to use compared to Codeanywhere. It provides terminal access to EC2 instances and hence other amazon services.

AWS Cloud9 is used by our company to work on smaller projects that can be fully developed and maintained in one IDE. Cloud9 is great for editing and working on Lambda functions, and provides similar comprehensive IDE functionality, but in a purely-online experience. Cloud9 works seamlessly with a variety of frameworks and other languages that we also use for development, like databases, Shell scripts, Python, Node.js, JavaScript, and multiple web frameworks.
  • Great, fast interface - There is a large list of shortcuts that make development on this IDE an experience that can sometimes even compare to something native.
  • Integrated debugging/troubleshooting - AWS Cloud9 has integrated debugging tools that are quite well-designed.
  • Lambda integrations - Cloud9 allows you to instantly run and maintain Lambda functions. It's probably the best IDE for developing on AWS Lambda.
  • Confusing documentation - AWS's documentation remains quite confusing, and the layout of other services/settings that you have to use with Cloud9 can be a bit of a handful.
  • Sometimes slow - As the size of a project increases, the editor gets increasingly slower, and starts slowing down the browser overall.
  • Long setup process - The setup for Cloud9 can be hard and tough, especially since the documentation is quite hard to understand.
Cloud9 provides great integrations and support for existing AWS services (especially AWS Lambda). Besides that, if your company has good dev-ops, it is worth considering that the development environment gets quite slow as the size increases. Like many other cloud computing services, there are good integrations with other cloud services of the company, but beyond that, not really much good integrations support. Cloud9 is a good example of this. The same applies for other cloud computing services - it is worth consolidating to one service to get the best support across cloud products.
  • Positive - Easy to develop AWS Lambda functions and easy to instantly run Lambda functions as well through the Cloud9 environment.
  • Positive - There is really good debugging and support of many tools you would find in a normal native IDE, which makes developing in the browser more easy.
  • Negative - No Java debugger/runner, this is one of the languages that we have to develop in other IDEs, and is a good reason to move away from Cloud9.
Coder provides an exclusively-online experience of Visual Studio Code, including extensions functionality, but is quite slow at times, and doesn't provide good Lambda support. AWS Lambda integrations remain one of the only reasons we stay with Cloud9, besides that, most dev-ops and frameworks are compatible with other online-only editors and IDEs.
