Amazon Q Developer
Overview
Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI assistant purpose‑built to accelerate the entire software development lifecycle. It delivers an agentic coding experience that can read and write files locally, generate code diffs, and run shell commands to offload multi‑step tasks. Beyond the IDE, Q Developer integrates into the AWS Management Console, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and GitHub to optimize cloud resources and automate reviews. It is available in Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Eclipse, and the JetBrains family of IDEs, as well as from the command line. The Free Tier includes 50 agentic requests and 1,000 lines of code transformation per month, allowing developers to experience advanced capabilities at no cost. For application modernization, it accelerates Java upgrades and .NET porting with guided transformations. Security scanning outperforms leading public benchmarks, providing fixes to raise reliability. With the Pro tier, organizations gain IP indemnity, enterprise controls, and higher limits, while individuals can start for free. Q Developer combines AWS expertise with practical agent workflows to help teams ship high‑quality software faster.
