What is Amazon Q Developer?
Amazon Q Developer is AWS's AI assistant for writing, debugging and refactoring code inside your editor or terminal. It replaced Amazon CodeWhisperer and adds agentic coding, chat about AWS resources and automated upgrades of Java and .NET applications.
Plugins for popular IDEs such as VS Code and JetBrains, plus a command-line tool, give you inline completions, chat and agents that can make multi-step changes. It runs on recent Claude models, and reference tracking flags suggestions that resemble open-source code so you can check the licence.
Its transformation feature upgrades older Java versions and ports .NET code, measured in lines of code per month. A perpetual free tier is available with an AWS Builder ID, while the Pro tier raises limits and adds IAM Identity Center support with admin dashboards and policy controls.
