AWS's AI coding assistant with deep AWS service knowledge
Amazon Q Developer is AWS's AI coding and cloud assistant embedded in VS Code, JetBrains, the AWS Console, and the CLI. It suggests code completions, answers questions about your AWS architecture, explains CloudWatch logs, generates unit tests, performs security scanning, and can autonomously transform Java 8/11 to Java 17 codebases. In 2026 it handles multi-file agentic code changes and cost-optimization recommendations in the AWS Console. **Step-by-step:** 1) Install Amazon Q Developer in VS Code (AWS Toolkit extension). 2) Sign in with an AWS Builder ID (free) or IAM Identity Center (paid). 3) Use '/dev' for agent tasks, '/explain' for code, '/fix' for bugs, '/test' for unit tests. **Best for:** AWS developers, teams doing cloud migrations, DevOps engineers, anyone using CDK or CloudFormation.
Deep AWS integration — explains your logs, fixes your CDK, and migrates Java codebases autonomously.
