Amazon Q Developer

Amazon Q Developer is AWS’s generative-AI assistant for software development. It integrates with the AWS Management Console and AWS first-party experiences to help you build, operate, and transform applications on AWS. Its IDE plugins, CLI, and paid subscriptions are being sunset (no new signups after May 15, 2026; end of support on April 30, 2027) and have been superseded by Kiro, AWS’s spec-driven agentic IDE and CLI.

Within VS Code and JetBrains, it can generate documentation, unit tests, and perform automated code reviews in the IDE. It supports repository-aware refactoring/optimization, and its software-development agent can plan and implement multi-file changes.

With integrations, Q Developer can take an issue from description to a created pull request and can auto-review PRs.

A transformation agent targets common modernization tasks such as Java version upgrades and .NET porting. The former Amazon Q CLI has been rebranded as the Kiro CLI, which provides natural-language commands and smart completions for popular tools.
