Cloud Security Engineer at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Provides secure access for remote teams but could benefit from continued support and development

Some of the best features with AWS Cloud9 are that it is a cloud-based DE, so you do not have to have an IDE locally or set up the IDE every time when using different computers. It is just there. It exists in the same VPC, or you can put it in the same VPC as your other resources. The integration with AWS services in AWS Cloud9 has made the development process more secure because you transition from having one jump box that everyone uses to everyone having their own individual jump boxes. It is advantageous to have something that is in the same VPC as your other resources that you can use as a jump box.

Data Architect at Ontario Power Generation

Has improved development efficiency through reusable components and intuitive programming features

When errors occur while programming, they are very generic. Even when searching the internet, the errors remain generic and it takes considerable time to understand the fix. This was predominantly felt because we were mostly working on writing code and developing features. Error handling needs to be improved. The patches and upgrade process is very long. In the last year and a half, I haven't upgraded, so we don't know if latest features have arrived. Another issue is with sessions. If we were working on code and then switch off our laptop for two to three days, the session would keep running. This consumes many resources and flags to the team that a user has been continuously using Oracle SQL Developer. There should be a timeout period for inactive sessions.

What needs improvement with AWS Cloud9?

We are not tracking Cloud9 metrics. I do not think it is that important. AWS Cloud9 is being discontinued, so preventing its discontinuation would address the main pain point.
