Last year, Ali Cloud released the local IDE plug-in Cloud Toolkit, IntelliJ IDEA platform alone, more than 150,000 developers downloaded, experienced the one-click deployment brought by the development convenience. One year later today, Ali Cloud officially released the version of Visual Studio Code, which fully covers front-end developers and helps front-end realize one-click packaging deployment, accelerating development by 8 times.

The Cloud Toolkit is a free native IDE plug-in that helps developers develop, test, diagnose, and deploy applications more efficiently. Plugins enable one-click deployment of native applications to any server, even the cloud (ECS, EDAS, ACK, ACR, applets, etc.); There are also built-in Arthas diagnostics, Dubbo tools, Terminal terminals, file uploads, function calculations, and MySQL executators.
