AWS Cloud9 is now deprecated: what enterprise-grade alternatives exist?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has decided to close new customer access to its Cloud9 service as of July 25th, 2024. AWS will continue to invest in security, availability, and performance improvements for existing customers but will not introduce any new features. This move impacts services that rely on Cloud9 such as CodeCatalyst. As a result, customers are looking for alternatives. One potential solution is Gitpod, which offers self-hosted enterprise-grade development environments integrated with AWS. Gartner predicts by 2026, 60% of cloud workloads will be built and deployed using solutions like Gitpod.
