Amazon AWS Cloud9 IDE
Return to Cloud IDEs
“There is no additional charge for AWS Cloud9. If you use an Amazon EC2 instance for your AWS Cloud9 development environment, you pay only for the compute and storage cloud resources (e.g., an EC2 instance, an EBS volume) that are used to run and store your code. You can also connect your AWS Cloud9 development environment to an existing Linux server (e.g., an on-premises server) via SSH for no additional charge.”
“You only pay for what you use, as you use it; there are no minimum fees and no upfront commitments. You are charged the normal AWS rates for any AWS resources (e.g., AWS Lambda functions) that you create or use within your AWS Cloud9 development environment.”
“New AWS customers who are eligible for the AWS Free Tier can use AWS Cloud9 for free. If your AWS Cloud9 environment makes use of resources beyond the free tier, you are charged the normal AWS rates for those resources.”

Pricing example (monthly estimates for AWS Cloud9 EC2 environments)
“If you use the default settings running an IDE for 4 hours per day for 20 days in a month with a 30-minute auto-hibernation setting your monthly charges for a 90 hours usage would be:
Type of charge - Amount - Comments
- AWS Compute fees* - $1.05 - t2.micro Linux instance at $0.0116/hour x 90 total hours used per month = $1.05
Total monthly fees $2.05
“AWS Cloud9 offers a broad selection of EC2 instance types. You can use the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator to view your monthly estimates, based on instance type and expected usage.”

- Snippet from Wikipedia: Cloud9 IDE
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). New users may only use the Cloud9 service through an AWS account.
From March 2018, existing accounts on Cloud9's original website could be used, but new accounts could not be created. On April 2, 2019, Cloud9 announced that users would not be able to create new and use old workspaces on c9.io (aka original version, not Amazon Cloud9) after June 30, 2019.
