What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

AWS cloud9 is a good tool to run the code in cloud. This removed the requirement to setup the code running environment in each developers system, specially when the team is huge and the resources are limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud9?

If you've already used local IDEs like VS code, then the features available in Cloud9 feels somewhat limited. Since it runs on the cloud, so running and debugging the code will always need a very good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud9 solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a huge team working across different geographies, AWS Cloud9 removes the need of setting up code run environment in local system. It also removes the need of high configuration systems. Earlier, when we were using in our local system we had to track all the new packages being installed and all the devs would need to install again, sometimes spending a lot of times to debug and setup. AWS Cloud9 removes all the hassle and provides the setup to run the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

Let me start by saying Cloud9 has been my go-to IDE for AWS projects since 2021, and overall, it’s been a game-changer. The best thing about Cloud9 is that it needs zero setup for pre-configured environments. It integrates with AWS services very easily and provides the best integration support across Lambda, EC2, and other AWS Ecosystems. It is beneficial for real-time team collaborations. It could be easily implemented while working with a larger code base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud9?

I have used it for almost 4 years. Have faced browser issues while working with Cloud9. Browser lags a lot while working with large projects. I had to re-open it multiple times to get the work done. No offline mode or caching mode for traveling scenarios or spotty internet issues. Connecting and getting your query addressed with customer support is sometimes challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud9 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Earlier it was a challenge to collaborate in real-time in an effective manner which was resolved when switched to Cloud9. It has helped me centralizing cloud-native tooling to minimize context switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Earlier for working with any new development projects we have to set up all the configurations which only takes atleast 1-2 days and if any error occured than for solving that again we have to download the configuration files and again we have to start from scratch but now it is solving our preconfiguration files and most importantly it will help the beginner to enrich their understanding about cloud and how to work on it.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

It gives you access to better hardware when your laptop starts lagging. I started using Cloud9 when I was trying to build for Android and iOS, and my Macbook started choking.
