Cloud9 is a web IDE with access to EC2 instance or your machine.  
I wrote an article (+ video for steps visualisation) about how to create such environment. I'm using it to develop few nodes/flows. Some features:

- free (you can use free tier for a year, you pay only when use it, you can use your own machine)
- you can run docker containers
- you can share your workspace with others in multiple ways

You can use it with every docker app/service, not only with NR.  
Depending on your use case, it can speed up the development/test/support/feedback process. It's just another way to get things done.

It's not advertised article, I used it before it was acquired by Amazon.
