- sudhirj 10y agoProbably a play by AWS to have a full IDE in the cloud, maybe with auto deploy to lambda or ECS.
- 0xmohit 10y ago> Does anyone know the reasons behind this acquisition? One can make guesses: - expanding into new verticals - potentially "enabling" Cloud9 users to become users of other AWS services - world domination!
- KuiN 10y agoThe current editor for AWS Lambda functions is nothing to write home about and has some really severe limitations; for example you're unable to edit any code that uses more than 1 file (that has to be uploaded in a zip every time). Having a high quality editor built into Lambda would make it so much easier to work with.
- maratd 10y agoThis doesn't make sense? The editor is open source. You can install it on your computer right now. They even provide instructions on how to do it. https://github.com/c9/core https://github.com/c9/core They can implement it without buying the company. Even if the license doesn't allow it, the license for ACE surely does and ACE is the meat of the editor. https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace Maybe they want the team because they want to move the product in a certain direction? I don't know.
