AWS's AI developer assistant with deep AWS integration, CLI and IDE agents.

Our review
Amazon Q Developer is AWS's official AI assistant, covering IDE completion, a CLI agent and code transformation (e.g. Java upgrades). Its understanding of AWS services goes far beyond generic tools, and it can troubleshoot your cloud resources directly.
Outside AWS-centric work it is unremarkable, and the experience feels engineered rather than polished. But if your stack is deeply tied to AWS, Q Developer's free tier and cloud-context abilities are genuinely useful.
