    What is AWS Cloud9?

    Cloud9 provides a development environment in the cloud. Cloud9 enables developers to get started with coding immediately with pre-setup environments called workspaces, collaborate with their peers with collaborative coding features, and build web apps with features like live preview and browser compatibility testing. It supports more than 40 languages, with class A support for PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript/Node.js, and Go.

    What is Red Hat Codeready Workspaces?

    Built on the open Eclipse Che project, Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces provides developer workspaces, which include all the tools and the dependencies that are needed to code, build, test, run, and debug applications.

    What is Theia?

    Theia provides the end-user with a full-fledged multi-language IDE (not just a smart editor) and supports equally the paradigm of Cloud IDE and Desktop IDE.

    What are some alternatives to AWS Cloud9, Red Hat Codeready Workspaces, and Theia?
    WebStorm
    WebStorm is a lightweight and intelligent IDE for front-end development and server-side JavaScript.
    vscode.dev
    It is a lightweight version of VS code that runs entirely in the browser and does not require any installation. It lets developers view and edit local files, take notes in markdown, and build client-side HTML, JavaScript, and CSS applications in conjunction with browser tools for debugging.
    CodePen
    It is a social development environment for front-end designers and developers.. It functions as an online code editor and open-source learning environment, where developers can create code snippets, creatively named "pens", and test them.
    Codeanywhere
    A development platform that enables you to not only edit your files from underlying services like FTP, GitHub, Dropbox and the like, but on top of that gives you the ability to collaborate, embed and share through Codeanywhere on any device.
    CodeSandbox
    CodeSandbox allows developers to simply go to a URL in their browser to start building. This not only makes it easier to get started, it also makes it easier to share. You can just share your created work by sharing the URL, others can then (without downloading) further develop on these sandboxes.
