They will spin up a virtual machine, where you can run and install pretty much whatever you want, and you can use the online code editor to modify your application.
Cloud9 offers free plans, unlike some competitors, and the interface is very usable. You can also use Cloud9 to collaborate between multiple developers.
Cloud9 combines a powerful online code editor with a full Ubuntu workspace in the cloud. Cloud9 supports more than 40 languages, with class A support for PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Go, and more.
Cloud9 IDE is an online integrated development environment, published as open source from version 3.0. It supports hundreds of programming languages, including C, C++, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript with Node.js, and Go. It enables developers to get started with coding immediately with pre-configured workspaces, collaborate with their peers with collaborative coding features, and web development features like live preview and browser compatibility testing.
It is written almost entirely in JavaScript, and uses Node.js on the back-end. The editor component uses Ace. As of July 2014, it uses Docker containers for its workspaces, and is hosted on Google Compute Engine.
As per their official blog, Cloud9 had been acquired by Amazon in July 2016. Cloud9 IDE, Inc. is the company that actively maintains Cloud9 IDE. The company has offices in San Francisco and Amsterdam.
