Amazon Q Developer - AWS AI Coding Assistant | AI.info
Amazon Q Developer offers AI code completions, an autonomous coding agent, security scanning, and Java migration — deeply integrated with the full AWS ecosystem.
Amazon Q Developer helps developers and IT professionals write, test, review, document, and refactor code. It provides code suggestions, inline chat, agentic coding, vulnerability scanning, AWS guidance, CLI assistance, and code transformation tools.
It is available in IDEs, the command line, the AWS Management Console, Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitLab, and GitHub. A Free Tier is available; Pro costs $19/mo. per user, and transformation usage beyond included limits costs extra. AWS says support for the IDE plugins will end on April 30, 2027, while console and other first-party experiences continue.
