CodeFreemiumLLM-drafted
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
Amazon Q Developer is AWS's coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Strong on AWS service integration, IAM policy generation, and bulk code transformation tasks like Java 8→17 upgrades. Free tier for individuals; paid for Business + IDE features.
Editor's verdict
Right tool when your codebase lives in AWS and you have legacy code to modernize. The Java upgrade transformer alone is worth the money for shops with old enterprise apps. For greenfield work outside AWS it's outclassed by Cursor / Copilot — don't switch for general productivity.
Use cases
