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[4] and became a part of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

On July 25, 2024, Amazon announced they had no plans to introduce new features to Cloud9, and new AWS accounts would no longer have access to Cloud9.[5]

Features

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.

As an online IDE, it allowed simultaneous editing from multiple users by offering multiple cursors, and could support the creation of private and public projects. Users were also able to drag-and-drop files into projects and use tabs to manage multiple files. Projects could also be integration with Mercurial and Git repositories, as well as collaboration platforms like GitHub and Bitbucket.
