AWS Cloud9 vs. Codeanywhere

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.

If you're looking for a VS Code-like online environment with containers to spin up a dev environment or execute code and scripts it is a good fit. The environments are very customizable, and, all said and done, the price is fair. If you're looking for a remote code editor that allows you to connect via SFTP/SSH and edit the remote files, it isn't quite as seamless as it used to be. I still haven't found any all-cloud alternative, but it could be better.

• Great, fast interface - There is a large list of shortcuts that make development on this IDE an experience that can sometimes even compare to something native.
• Integrated debugging/troubleshooting - AWS Cloud9 has integrated debugging tools that are quite well-designed.
• Lambda integrations - Cloud9 allows you to instantly run and maintain Lambda functions. It's probably the best IDE for developing on AWS Lambda.

• Run development containers with backend and frontend access.
• Allow for multiple users to collaborate and share containers and connections.
• Manage multiple connections to different servers.

• According to the project that is being executed it can become slow.
• It does not have the basic text manipulators.
• Shared terminals sometimes take a while to display.

• Since some updates a couple of years ago, using Codeanywhere as a remote code editor rather than a container-based development environment has been more cumbersome and difficult.
• The modular nature of connections and containers seems like a good idea, but they don't always work properly.
• It's difficult sometimes to share a connection or container together with a collaborator.

The interface for Cloud9 needs some improvement. It is simply not as powerful and intelligent as a local text editor would be and thus it lacks the capabilities of fast filling when coding. Otherwise, I think it has a fair interface that they have tried mimicking an IDE.

Customer support is managed by the Cloud support team. I won't be able to comment on details, but it's fast.

S3 is a great service for storing unstructured data. It is cheap and us an user we don't have to care about scaling. Amazon S3 is a managed service. We use it for avery simple projects in our organization.

I've used CodeTasty, which is much more of a straight remote code editor, but their dev team is entirely unresponsive, and I became uncomfortable storing credentials with them, so I pulled everything from them and went back to Codeanywhere. VS code is similar but not fully online. While I know that they've released a fully online version, I haven't had the time or wherewith-all to make it work in the capacity I need. Codeanywhere is still the best solution I've found.

• This software has been really useful for our company since thanks to the fact that you can work together with other colleagues in the same code, it is much easier to advance in the development of projects and thus be able to make your delivery in a much shorter time.
• Because it provides all the necessary tools to develop projects, there is a great saving of time and costs.
• It is easy to use so any user can use it and this makes it possible to streamline each project much faster and more if you do not necessarily have to be in the company to advance in them, and this is thanks to the fact that it can be used from anywhere with internet access.

• Helped me make mission critical edits remotely and on-the-fly.
• Spent a bit of time figuring out the change in user interfaces.
