What is Amazon Q Developer?

Amazon Q Developer is AWS's AI assistant for software development, living in the IDE, the command line, and the AWS console. It is strongest when your work already runs on AWS: it understands your cloud resources, IAM policies, and billing data alongside your code, which makes its answers unusually practical for cloud-heavy teams and operations work.

Beyond chat and autocomplete, Q Developer includes specialised agents that can upgrade Java applications, migrate .NET projects, modernise mainframes, and transform VMware workloads. There is a capable free tier with monthly limits, while the Pro tier raises those limits and adds organisational controls, making it an easy first AI assistant for teams standardised on AWS.
