How it works
The assistant understands the context of your project and your AWS setup, so it can suggest code that fits the services you already use. It also includes a chat interface where you can ask questions about your code, debug errors, and get help with AWS architecture. Security scanning flags vulnerabilities as you write.
There is a free tier for individual developers with generous limits, and the Pro plan costs $19 per user per month with higher limits and organisational controls. If your work already runs on AWS, Q Developer is a natural fit; if you rarely touch AWS, a general-purpose coding assistant may suit you better.
