It's a bit biased towards aws services.
Likeliness to Recommend

If you ask it for a solution to a problem, it will almost always suggest using an aws service, even if there is a better open-source alternative.

I like that it helps me to discover new aws services that i didn't know about. It's a good way to learn more about the aws ecosystem and what is possible.

It's a great tool, but remember that it is made by amazon.

It's the perfect ai for aws developers.

Other ai tools are generic. This one is an expert on aws. It knows all the services and apis, which is a huge help for someone who works in the aws cloud all day.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love that i can ask it questions like "what is the best way to set up a lambda function with an s3 trigger?". It gives me answers that are specific to aws best practices.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is not as good with languages and frameworks that are not related to aws.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are an aws developer, this is the ai assistant you should be using.

Efficient AI Assistant for AWS Developers
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon Q Developer from other similar products?
Amazon Q Developer is deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem, making it more context-aware of AWS services, CLI commands, and IaC tools compared to general-purpose AI coding tools
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Its ability to assist with writing CloudFormation/Terraform templates, generate CLI commands, and answer AWS service-related queries directly in the IDE boosts daily productivity
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes, Q Developer's suggestions lack context in complex multi-service architectures, and it occasionally gives outdated or region-specific responses
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you’re working heavily in AWS, especially with IaC or serverless applications, Q Developer can be a great co-pilot. However, validate the output before execution, especially in production-critical environments
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
