"Streamlined Cloud Development with AWS Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

I really appreciate how AWS Cloud9 allows me to write and test code directly in the cloud without needing to install anything on my local machine. It significantly streamlines my workflow by providing quick access to AWS services like Lambda, EC2, or S3, which is a game-changer for projects requiring cloud resources. The built-in terminal and collaborative editing features are incredibly useful for teamwork, and I also find it convenient for running small scripts, debugging, and conducting quick development tasks from anywhere. Its deep integration with AWS services saves me a lot of time and simplifies the process of deploying and testing cloud services. I particularly like how Cloud9 automatically manages the environment setup, eliminating the hassle of configuring tools, which keeps my workflow smooth and hassle-free. The real-time collaboration feature is surprisingly effective, especially for pair programming or quick reviews, enabling seamless teamwork. The built-in terminal and AWS CLI support are features I value highly, as they allow me to manage and deploy cloud resources efficiently without having to juggle multiple tools. The code editor’s debugging tools are another highlight, as they make it easy to test and fix issues directly in the cloud environment. Additionally, transitioning to AWS Cloud9 eliminated the difficulties of managing environments on each machine, transforming collaboration and cloud development into a much simpler process. The initial setup was straightforward, with Cloud9 automatically configuring the environment and connecting seamlessly to AWS services, enabling me to start coding almost immediately.

"Powerful AWS Integration, But Performance Lag on Larger Projects"
3/5
What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

The best thing about AWS Cloud9 is its zero-setup, browser-based IDE - you can write, run, and debug code from anywhere without ever touching local environment configuration. Its seamless, pre-authenticated integration with AWS services like Lambda, EC2, and S3 means you spend less time wiring things together and more time actually building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud9?

The biggest drawback of AWS Cloud9 is its performance lag on larger projects. the IDE can feel noticeably slow and even sluggish compared to a local editor like VS Code, and its heavy dependence on a stable internet connection and underlying EC2 instance costs means the experience can quietly become both frustrating and expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Cloud9 makes coding easier from anywhere"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Cloud9?

The best part of AWS Cloud9 is that I don’t need to setup big local env on my laptop. I just open browser and start coding from anywhere. It already come with many tools pre installed so I save time on configuration. For team work it’s good because we can share env and see each other changes, like pair programming. Also it connect easy with other AWS service so deploy is more simple. Sometimes it feel little slow on heavy project, but overall I like the flexibility it give. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud9?

Sometime Cloud9 feel slow specially when project is big or internet not stable. The interface also look bit old compare to other IDEs, and few keyboard shortcuts not working same like VS Code so it take time to adjust. Storage cost can also add up if you keep too many env running. It’s not really bad, but these small things make experience less smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
