Overview

Amazon Q Developer is AWS's AI-powered coding assistant, integrated into VS Code, JetBrains, and the AWS console. It's specifically trained on AWS APIs, services, and best practices, making it the go-to tool for developers building on AWS infrastructure.

AWS-specific knowledge for services, SDK usage, and IAM policies
Security scanning that identifies vulnerabilities and suggests fixes
Code transformation for upgrading Java and .NET to modern versions
Agent mode for multi-step tasks like adding features or fixing bugs end-to-end
