Provides secure access for remote teams but could benefit from continued support and development
Some of the best features with AWS Cloud9 are that it is a cloud-based DE, so you do not have to have an IDE locally or set up the IDE every time when using different computers. It is just there. It exists in the same VPC, or you can put it in the same VPC as your other resources. The integration with AWS services in AWS Cloud9 has made the development process more secure because you transition from having one jump box that everyone uses to everyone having their own individual jump boxes. It is advantageous to have something that is in the same VPC as your other resources that you can use as a jump box.

Code analysis has improved in the IDE but vulnerability views and integrations still need work
When I joined the organization, SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) was already deployed, so I am not the right person to answer this question as it is a tool and technology that was already deployed. Deployment was done by one person, but that person had to coordinate and collaborate with different teams to onboard the projects. From a deployment perspective, one person handled it.
