AWS Cloud9

AWS Cloud9 gives you the flexibility to run your development environment on a managed Amazon EC2 instance or any existing Linux server that supports SSH. This means that you can write, run, and debug applications with just a browser, without needing to install or maintain a local IDE. The AWS Cloud9 code editor and integrated debugger include helpful, time-saving features such as code hinting, code completion, and step-through debugging. The AWS Cloud9 terminal provides a browser-based shell experienc, allowing you to install additional software, do a git push, or enter commands.

AWS Cloud9 makes collaborating on code easier. You can share your development environment with your team in just a few steps and pair-program together. While collaborating, your team members can see each other type in real time and instantly chat with one another from within the IDE.

AWS Cloud9 makes it easier to write, run, and debug serverless applications. It preconfigures the development environment with all the SDKs, libraries, and plug-ins needed for serverless development. AWS Cloud9 also provides an environment for locally testing and debugging AWS Lambda functions. This allows you to directly iterate on your code, saving you time and improving the quality of your code.

AWS Cloud9 comes with a terminal that includes sudo privileges to the managed Amazon EC2 instance that is hosting your development environment and a preauthenticated AWS Command Line Interface. This makes it easy for you to quickly run commands and directly access AWS services.

AWS Cloud9 streamlines starting new projects. The AWS Cloud9 development environment comes prepackaged with tooling for over 40 programming languages, including Node.js, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, and C++. This tooling allows you to start writing code for popular application stacks within minutes by removing the need to install or configure files, SDKs, and plug-ins for your development machine. Because Cloud9 is cloud-based, you can easily maintain multiple development environments to isolate your project’s resources.
