Cloud based environment for software development on Amazon
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse 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
- Environment isolation
- Pair programming
- Software development and code editor
Cons
- 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.
