Amazon CodeCatalyst, a Unified Software Development Service it was only a few days back that I suggested about Run your Development Environment on Cloud, and as though our dear fellows at AWS had heard my thoughts the preview of Amazon CodeCatalyst was announced two days back as of this post.
As we go through the explanation and blog post we find that it is really intriguing and exciting to hear about the features. Well, I did give a run through the preview and I found that this could change the way we work. At least it did change the way I worked but not for the full-time job as that would violate the compliance complications. But mostly this would be used by me for my leisure time and commitments towards FOSS and my GitHub presence.
Project templates – or blueprints as they define the term do help in fast-tracking the initial development phase and creating a boilerplate to start working. On-demand development environment hosted on the AWS cloud, automated ci-cd pipelines with a multitude of options and drag and drop building, browser-based ide cloud9 with terminal access on the development instance running amazon linux2 which is based out of centos, invite collaborators across the globe to inspect your code with just a few clicks are just a few of the facilities of this unified development environment as service.
I am still very much excited to dig into this service and will go further into this and maybe come out with more like a session with the awsugtvm very soon as time and health permits. Last month I was bedridden after a bike accident involving a stray dog.
