Cloud9 IDE - Online IDE

If you had the opportunity to rethink your software development environment, what would it look like? This is the question we have been asking ourselves for the past year and a half. In the current day and age, where an increasing amount of our time is spent online, building a development environment as a web app almost seems an obvious choice; not only because it’s a convenient way of software delivery, but also because it enables a world of new ways to collaborate and develop software. These were the ideas that led us to build Cloud9 IDE.

Cloud9 IDE has seen an amazing growth over the past year. This growth brought many interesting engineering challenges to the table. To handle Cloud9 IDE’s increasing success, about a week and a half ago we migrated all our users over to a completely new c9.io setup, a setup enabling us to much more easily scale horizontally. Since we are in the great position to develop a product for an audience that is much like ourselves, we thought we’d share some behind-the-scenes information on how Cloud9 IDE operates and where we’re heading technology-wise.

Today we are very pleased to announce that Cloud9 has integrated with Cloud Foundry as a deployment partner! You can start deploying your Node.js apps to Cloud Foundry right now on c9.io.

Cloud Foundry deployments are not only super fast (~15 seconds!), but Cloud Foundry is also in the unique position as the leading open-source PaaS, enabling developers to install it on their own server. Cloud9 in turn allows users to specify the URL of the server they want to deploy to. Read on for details…

Well hello there! This week, we’ve released a whole bunch of bugfixes throughout the Cloud9 system.

Most importantly, as Zef mentioned earlier, we’ve rolled out a massive update to our console system. This system is responsible for many operations, including running and debugging code, pushing and pulling between repositories, and issuing console commands (ls, cd, e.t.c.). Its new stability means a better, more reliable workflow for you. We hope you enjoy it!

On top of that, we’ve made some changes to searching across files: you can now perform a replace across your files, too!
