AWS Developer Tools Reviews

AWS CodePipeline integrates great with many AWS services. It is very simple to setup a deployment pipeline starting with a code repository (Popular ones like GitHub, GitLab etc. are supported using Code connections). Custom deployment logics can be implemented using CodeBuild images rading specs from either the source repository itself, or commands embedded to the CodeBuild project itself.

There are options for seamless no-script deployment using CodeDeploy (Good for S3, ECS etc.). Pricing is also good in CodePipeline V1) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodePipeline V1

- Lack of support of dynamic variables at pipeline level. E.g. Dynamic code repo branch name.

- Lack of APIs to track the proper progress for a particular execution of pipeline. (Cannot get stage by stage tracking using AWS APIs)

- Does not provide a built in option to make the pipeline execution progress accessible externally (E.g, in GitHub.)

CodePipeline V2

- Pricing (Cost proportional to the total execution time of the pipeline doesn'tmakes sense when there is already other costs associated with underlying resources (e.g. CodeBuild) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its difficult to setup a cross account pipeline setup, like if i want to keep my codebase in one account and rest resources on another AWS account. Which makes it very lengthy process to setup that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Cloud9 saved my day and since then whenever I need heavy lifting for my code - Cloud9 is my go-to choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of configuration is needed to make it feel like your IDE and it is costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free and open-source, which is always a plus in my book. Long-term support is great for enterprise projects. No need to worry about constant updates. Performance seems solid. I haven't noticed any significant differences compared to other JDKs. AWS backing gives me confidence in its longevity and security patches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation could be better. Sometimes I find myself digging around for info.

The ecosystem isn't as rich as some other JDKs. Fewer third-party tools and plugins.

While it's supposed to be a drop-in replacement, I've occasionally run into minor compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Cloud9 offers a fully managed environment where you can develop and test applications without the overhead of managing local installations. Its seamless integration with Git, live collaboration with team members, and the ability to run and debug applications directly in the cloud are incredibly helpful. It saves time by eliminating the need for configuring environments and makes teamwork much more efficient.

The ease of setup, real-time collaboration features, and integration with other AWS services make it ideal for cloud-based development. The ability to code from anywhere, on any device, without worrying about setting up local environments is a major advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing model can be a bit expensive for small teams or individual developers compared to alternatives, and sometimes, the interface can feel sluggish when handling larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
