Agentic Transformer of Code and Cloud Management

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Amazon Q Developer from other similar products?

Amazon Q Developer stands out for its deep AWS integration, agentic automation (it can analyze, refactor, and modernize code autonomously), and enterprise-grade security via IAM and data isolation. Unlike general tools like GitHub Copilot, it understands AWS services, helps with infrastructure setup, modernization (e.g., Java/.NET upgrades), and architecture guidance—making it ideal for teams building or managing apps on AWS.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Amazon Q Developer is its deep AWS awareness — it doesn’t just generate code but understands your AWS environment, helping you build, deploy, and troubleshoot applications seamlessly across services like Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Amazon Q Developer is that it’s heavily tied to AWS, making it less useful for multi-cloud or non-AWS projects. It can also feel complex to set up, requiring IAM configuration and repository linking before you get the full experience.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend Amazon Q Developer to teams already using AWS or planning to scale within it. To get the most out of it, integrate it early into your development workflow (IDE, CLI, or Console), and leverage its automation features for code modernization and infrastructure setup. However, if your stack is multi-cloud or not AWS-focused, consider a more general tool like GitHub Copilot.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

The feature upgrade suggestions are so cool.

Likeliness to Recommend

5 /10

What differentiates Amazon Q Developer from other similar products?

This is a very unique feature that i have not seen in other tools. It can look at my old code and suggest how to upgrade it to use the latest language features.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love that it can help me to modernize our legacy applications. I used it to help me upgrade an old java 8 application to java 17. It was a huge help.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It doesn't support all languages and frameworks for this feature yet.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have to maintain and upgrade old code, this feature is a game changer.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
