Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI–powered coding assistant built and hosted by AWS, designed for software developers and engineering teams building, testing, reviewing, and modernizing applications on AWS. It delivers agentic coding capabilities across the full development lifecycle — including feature implementation, documentation generation, test authoring, code review, and refactoring — alongside real-time inline code suggestions directly in the developer's IDE or CLI.

Key technical highlights:

Agentic task execution: Autonomously handles multi-step development tasks such as implementing features, writing tests, and performing code reviews
Security scanning: Detects and remediates security vulnerabilities in code
Application transformation: Supports modernization of .NET and Java applications (e.g., version upgrades)
AWS-native integration: Deep integration with the AWS Management Console and AWS services
Benchmark performance: Top scores on the SWE-Bench Leaderboard; highest reported code acceptance rate for multiline suggestions

Integrations: JetBrains, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse, CLI, AWS Management Console, Microsoft Teams, Slack, GitLab, GitHub, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Pricing: Freemium. The perpetual Free Tier includes 50 agentic chat interactions/month and up to 1,000 lines of code transformation/month. A paid Amazon Q Developer Pro tier is also available.
