About Amazon Q Developer

Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI powered assistant designed to accelerate the software development lifecycle specifically for AWS ecosystems. It functions as an expert on Amazon Web Services, offering native integration with services like CloudFormation, Lambda, and S3 to help developers understand and manage their infrastructure. However, the platform is currently undergoing a transition to its successor, Kiro. While existing users can continue to leverage its agentic coding capabilities and code transformations, Amazon Q Developer is scheduled for sunset on April 30, 2027. New signups are redirected to Kiro to ensure a seamless evolution of the development experience.

What people are saying

Developers frequently highlight the tool's specialized knowledge of the AWS ecosystem, noting its ability to understand infrastructure natively. Unlike general coding assistants, it offers unique value for those managing complex cloud services.

"Amazon Q Developer — the hidden gem for AWS devs. UNLIMITED code completions (seriously, no cap), 50 agent tasks/month, understands CloudFormation, Lambda, S3 natively... Most AWS devs don't even know this exists — and they're paying for tools that do less." — Mohit Girdhar (June 2026)

"I’ve been using Amazon Q Developer extension + CLI quite a bit lately for AWS-related work for spinning up infra, debugging tricky IAM or S3 or ECS issues, even turning AWS Console steps into IaC." — Reddit user (August 2026)

Users find significant utility in the platform's ability to provide a comprehensive overview of large-scale systems. Even for those not strictly using cloud services, the directory-wide perspective and potential for task automation make it a compelling choice.

"We use Amazon Q to develop large-scale systems that involve device operation. Although we don't necessarily use cloud services, we feel that the agent's ability to provide a bird's-eye view across directories is very valuable... I think this service still has a long way to go, but I see great potential." — Gartner Peer Insights reviewer (May 2026)
