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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
AWS Cloud is being used by the organization and we have multiple VPC, which hosts a different set of applications/servers per specific department need. The advantage is high availability and scalability.
Pros and Cons
  • High availability
  • Scalability
  • On-demand
  • Performance
  • Peak load at specific times
  • Doesn't help if Infra selection is bad
  • Cost
Likelihood to Recommend
1. Biggest advantage is scalability
2. You can add infra capabilities as and when needed
3. High availability
4. Full access to server details, don't need to depend on other vendors

One disadvantage I can think of is COST.
Even when AWS says you pay what you need, isn't correct but you need to keep your infra on standby to use it when you need and that involves cost.
Return on Investment
  • HIgh availability
  • Performance scalability
  • Quick procurement of infra to install servers
Alternatives Considered
Had a lot of communication lag while using CTL
Had a dependency for any infra setup/change requirement
Performance issues
Slow procurement

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
AWS Cloud9 is being used as the cloud-based IDE by my team and part of the organization. The business problems it solves is the need for an integrated environment that allows for pair programming. This helps reduce bugs and other issues when it comes to writing some application code. Since it is cloud-based, we don't have to save the code and push it back and forth anymore, thus saving time.
Pros and Cons
  • Environment isolation
  • Pair programming
  • Software development and code editor
  • Code highlighting
  • Code folding
  • Plugins and extensions
  • Localized editing
Likelihood to Recommend
AWS Cloud9 is great for product engineering and coding where you must take time to pair program and code in a specific isolated environment. It is entirely cloud based so there's no worry about saving and data consistency. It is all hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud. It is less appropriate for more general workflows that don't require a specific cloud instance.
Return on Investment
  • Less bugs through pair programming
  • Isolated environments lead to less conflicts from packages
  • Increased productivity for product development
  • Great prototyping interface
Usability
7
The interface for Cloud9 needs some improvement. It is simply not as powerful and intelligent as a local text editor would be and thus it lacks the capabilities of fast filling when coding. Otherwise, I think it has a fair interface that they have tried mimicking an IDE.
Support Rating
9
AWS provides great support for their own products and I can get someone to help me understand what's going on pretty quick. Their popup lofts also add to the ability to get one on one help with some of their products and services in a way that is comforting and understandable.
Alternatives Considered
I have not used other cloud based IDE's at the time.
