Amazon Q Developer is AWS's generative AI assistant for software development.
Amazon Q Developer is AWS's generative AI assistant for software development, providing inline code suggestions, chat, and command-line completions in IDEs including JetBrains, Visual Studio, VS Code, and Eclipse. Its agentic capabilities carry out multi-step tasks such as implementing features, writing tests, documenting, reviewing, and refactoring code, and dedicated agents accelerate .NET ports from Windows to Linux and Java version upgrades. It also brings AWS expertise into the AWS Management Console and into Microsoft Teams and Slack.
A perpetual free tier and a paid Pro tier are offered, with Pro adding code customization from private repositories and enterprise access controls through AWS IAM Identity Center. AWS has announced that support for the Amazon Q Developer IDE plugins ends on April 30, 2027, directing developers to its Kiro product for agentic coding.
