Simple Virtual Private Servers on AWS
Generally, I use a dedicated AWS Lightsail instance for development. It's cheap, but always on, so I can access it whenever from wherever. I have it setup with Docker and have it running Portainer, Traefik, and Code-Server. This allows me to interact with the instance completely from the browser. Portainer is used to manage the containers running (so I can add/modify containers running in the instance) and Traefik is used to manage the networking. Code-Server is a web-based IDE similar to VS Code, which I'll use for actual coding. Those all get installed with a single start-up script, so that I can tear-down and rebuild the instance if needed.

AWS Cloud9 is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you write, run, and debug your code with just a browser.
This ^ is not necessary, to be honest. But it's quite robust, and I like to know that, if needed, I can hop on someone else's computer (or, in a pinch, my phone) and have access to a workstation. Alternatively, if I find myself doing a lot of AWS-specific development, I'll just use Cloud9 instead. Cloud9 is quite convenient and cheap, but I don't like having to login to AWS just to use it. With that being said, I've probably only used my Lightsail instance a handful of times over the last few months and instead opting to use Cloud9, so maybe this is a better place to start.
