We are excited to announce a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) feature that makes it easier and safer to refactor your infrastructure as code. CDK Refactor aims to preserve your AWS resources as you rename constructs, move resources between stacks, and reorganize your CDK applications – operations that previously risked resource replacement. When writing […]

Code reviews are one of the most valuable rituals in software development. They help ensure quality, maintain consistency, and foster growth as engineers. But they’re also one of the most time consuming steps in the software development lifecycle. A common pattern I’ve seen is a developer opening a pull request (PR), receiving automated or peer […]

Modern software development teams face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality code faster, while managing growing system complexity. Developers often spend significant time on necessary, but undifferentiated work, or “toil”. Toil is often manual, repetitive, and of limited enduring value, making it a strong candidate for automation or delegation to generative AI tools. The re:Invent 2024 […]

As a developer who has embraced the power of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)to enhance my workflows, I’m thrilled to see the addition of custom agents in the Amazon Q Developer CLI. This new feature takes the capabilities I’ve come to rely on to a whole new level, allowing me to seamlessly manage different development […]

Business and technology leaders are constantly striving to improve productivity, increase velocity, foster experimentation, reduce time-to-market (TTM), and enhance the developer experience. These North Star goals drive innovation in software development practices. This innovation is increasingly being powered by artificial intelligence. Particularly, generative AI powered tools such as Amazon Q Developer and Kiro have already […]

Introduction ArgoCD is a leading GitOps tool that empowers teams to manage Kubernetes deployments declaratively, using Git as the single source of truth. Its robust feature set, including automated sync, rollback support, drift detection, advanced deployment strategies, RBAC integration, and multi-cluster support, makes it a go-to solution for Kubernetes application delivery. However, as organizations scale, […]

Amazon Q Developer is the most capable generative AI–powered assistant for software development, helping developers perform complex workflows. Amazon Q Developer command-line interface (CLI) combines conversational AI with direct access to AWS services, helping you understand, build, and operate applications more effectively. The Amazon Q Developer CLI executes commands, analyzes outputs, and provides contextual recommendations […]

Earlier today, Amazon Q Developer announced Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in their Integrated Development Environment (IDE) plugins for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains. This allows developers to connect external tools or MCP servers to Q Developer, enabling more context-aware responses and complex workflows. MCP support has already been available in Amazon Q Developer for […]

In the ever-evolving landscape of Java development, keeping applications up-to-date while minimizing risk has become increasingly challenging. Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities now support customization of Java upgrades in Java upgrade transformation CLI (command line interface) with a new selective transformation feature. Selective transformation empowers development teams with greater control over their modernization journey. Instead […]

Amazon Q Developer now supports Claude Sonnet 4 within the CLI, bringing advanced coding and reasoning capabilities to your development workflows at no additional cost. This latest model excels in coding with a state-of-the-art 72.7% for agentic coding on the SWE-bench (see Claude 4 announcement for more information). With enhanced coding and reasoning capabilities, it […]
