Cloud9 IDE is an online IDE (integrated development environment), published as open source from version 2.0, until version 3.0. It supports multiple programming languages, including C, C++, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript with Node.js, and Go. It is written almost entirely in JavaScript, and uses Node.js on the back-end. The editor component uses Ace. Cloud9 was acquired by Amazon in July 2016 and became a part of Amazon Web Services (AWS). The service was closed to new customers in 2024.
Features
[edit]Some of the features of an older version included automatic code completion for snippets and identifiers, parenthesis and bracket matching, a debugger, and a gutter where line numbers and errors or warnings would be displayed. Cloud9 IDE also offered syntax highlighting for various languages, such as C#, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. Particularly for JavaScript, it offered real-time language analysis, code reformatting, and refactoring facilities. It was also extensible and customizable, allowing users to change themes, plugins, and key-bindings to make their preferred setup.[non-primary source needed]
History
[edit]Cloud9 was founded in 2010 by Rik Arends and Ruben Daniels. It was setup as one of the first software as a service platforms, allowing an IDE in the cloud. The founders raised $5 million in funding, from Accel Partners and product development software company Atlassian Software.[1]
On July 14, 2016, Cloud9 announced that it had been acquired by Amazon.com, and would be integrated into its Amazon Web Services.[2] Amazon later ended new signups to the service on July 25, 2024.[3]
Usage
[edit]Cloud9 is the native IDE for the BeagleBone Black single-board computer, which is primarily programmed in an extension of Node.js called Bonescript.[non-primary source needed]
