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 Its IDE plugins and paid subscriptions are being sunset, and they’ve been superseded by Kiro, AWS’s spec-driven agentic IDE and CLI. New signups closed after May 15, 2026, and support ends on April 30, 2027.

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.
