Amazon Q Developer

AWS's coding assistant, strongest for Java and .NET upgrades.

About

Amazon Q Developer is AWS's AI coding assistant for IDEs, the command line and the AWS console. It suggests code, chats about your codebase, writes tests, scans for issues and upgrades Java and .NET applications, with a free tier and a Pro tier for teams. Note that AWS has announced it will end support for the IDE plugins on 30 April 2027 and recommends Kiro instead.

Key features

• Code suggestions and chat inside IDEs, the CLI and the AWS console
• Agentic coding help for multi-step development tasks
• Automated Java and .NET version upgrades and transformations
• Unit test generation and code review assistance
• Security scanning for vulnerabilities in code
• Admin dashboard, analytics and IP indemnity on Pro

Pricing

Free tier available; Pro $19/user/month

Prices from the official AWS pricing page as reported in 2026; transformation overage is $0.003 per line beyond pooled allowances.

Best for

AWS-centred teams, especially those upgrading Java and .NET codebases.

Limitations to know

AI-generated code can be wrong or insecure, so review and test everything before merging. The free tier allows only 50 agentic requests a month, and the announced IDE plugin shutdown in April 2027 makes it a risky long-term pick for new editor-based workflows.
