About Amazon Q Developer
AWS's AI coding assistant for IDE and CLI workflows with code chat, suggestions, transformations, and security scanning. Being wound down: AWS states on its own product page that it "will discontinue support for Amazon Q Developer IDE plugins" on 30 April 2027, and points users to Kiro for agentic coding, chat and MCP support. The CLI and console experiences are not named in that notice. Treat this as a tool with a known end date rather than one to start a new team on.

Amazon's own AI tooling being garbage is so funny. Every customer could tell you how trash Amazon Q is.
Amazon's AI coding agent Kiro reportedly "decided" the fastest way to fix a config error was to delete the entire production environment. Gone. A 6-hour outage. 6.3 million orders lost.
