The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 has ranked VS Code as the most popular IDE:

It soon got the traction of the Software developer community due to its powerful features and advanced developer experience. Microsoft has developed and released the VS Code in 2015.

If we consider all fields of Software Development, VS Code is the number one Open Source and free IDE. In this post, I will mainly focus on the VS Code for Cloud Native development. There are several excellent IDE like VS Code, JetBrains IDE, or AWS Cloud 9, which offers excellent Cloud Native developer experience. If I needed to test my Lambda function, the only way to do it was to deploy on AWS.įortunately, things have changed drastically in the last few years as Cloud providers led by Azure are focusing more and more on IDE support for Cloud Native development. When I first started working on AWS Cloud in 2016, one thing I missed was Developer Experience, i.e., lack of IDE support. Additionally, they help me keep my focus by using one tool and reduce my brain’s costly context switching. Foremost, modern IDE’s help me to focus on the creative task (e.g., Coding) and take away lots of repetitive, tedious tasks. So, whether you are actively working on Cloud Native project or not, it would be a splendid idea to have a look at Cloud Native development in 2020.Īs a Software Engineer, I prefer to use a modern IDE’s. Companies will embrace the Cloud at a faster pace in the post-COVID world. As per Canalis insights, Global Cloud services has seen a 34% growth in Q1, 2020. In the last few years, we are seeing a rapid growth of Cloud Native software development.
