I thought for a second Amazon is getting into the esports business. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud9_(eSports)
And I thought they were into maternity care :) : http://cloudninecare.com/
Seriously though, as a user of Cloud9 IDE, I hope this doesn't just get shut down.
I want to write code on a 2 lb MacBook, with continuous build-as-you-type in the cloud on a fleet of Xeons that have larger CPU caches than my entire project.
Have 5, 50, 500 tests that need to run? Run them all in parallel continuously and get immediate red/green feedback in your IDE. Behind the scenes Lambda takes horizontal scaling from minutes/seconds down to milliseconds, so go radically horizontal.
I want my editor, exactly as I left it, down to the open tabs and cursor position, on any machine. And pair-programming Google docs simultaneous-edit style, without either party giving up the ability to run/debug the software on their own.
What if the FaaS/Lambda lifecycle management was tightly integrated in the IDE? Working on, testing, versioning and publishing a function could be re-imagined in a non-file centric way.
Once fully integrated with AWS, this could offer a rather exciting, low friction way to work on the platform. Using Cloud9 to build, test, and deploy Lambda functions from a single interface with all the auth stuff dealt with automatically.. you could have some powerful APIs running in the cloud very quickly. (Maybe there's even a play for getting this stuff into the hands of non-engineering employees. Build the "Exc…
Seems like a smart move by Amazon if they integrate cloud9 as a standard service. I liked Google's web based IDE when I was a contractor there and for about a year I experimented with using nitrous.io. Right now I am experimenting with using codeanywhere pointed at my own large server instance. It is tremendously convenient having one development environment set up that can be accessed from all of my devices. Hopeful…
They have one of those?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The reason my team uses C9 is it facilitates remote pair programming in a really nice way. That's the main purpose of it for us. It also means I can have a nice IDE running on our development server instead of on my local machine, which is handy because I have two different computers I use for work (a desktop and a laptop.) My workspace is not just similar but literally the same workspace on both machines.
> it facilitates remote pair programming in a really nice way Ok. Do they allow two people to edit the same file simultaneously?
I really hope that the Cloud9 service keeps running, and maintains the free version that it currently provides. I have been using Cloud9 with the Michael Hartl Rails Tutorial to teach new programmers the basics of programming with Ruby and Rails and it has greatly reduced the friction for them to start learning. In previous classes we had the students setup a Ruby and Rails environment on their own systems and not on…
In that line, https://janitor.technology/, which relies on Cloud9, is a promising offering.

Wouldn't virtual machine basically do the same thing? I've taken some classes where teacher gave us an image where everything was already installed and configured. Everything went smoothly. However, Cloud9 is much more convenient since it runs entirely on browser but VM solution could work in case C9 discontinues its free tier.
