Starting today, you can use Amazon CodeCatalyst Dev Environments (Preview) with linked GitHub repositories. CodeCatalyst is a unified software development service that makes it faster to build and deliver software on AWS. Dev Environments, a feature of CodeCatalyst, are preconfigured, scalable cloud development environments accessible from popular IDEs. They help developers instantly start editing, testing and pushing code.
After linking a GitHub repository to a CodeCatalyst project, you can launch consistent and reproducible development environments to start quickly working on the code in your repository. As part of creating the Dev Environment, you can clone an existing branch of your linked GitHub repository into your Dev Environment. You can also choose from linked GitHub repositories from within supported IDEs when you have the AWS Toolkit installed.
With preconfigured Dev Environments, you can onboard developers faster by avoiding lengthy setup process and work with supported IDEs such as AWS Cloud9, Visual Studio Code, and JetBrains IDEs including IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional and GoLand. By default, a Dev Environment in free tier is configured to have a 2-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 16GB of persistent storage, available for up to 60 hours per month. For more information on compute and storage options, refer to the Amazon CodeCatalyst pricing page.
