“Evaluation Shows Q Developer Adjusts Technical Depth According To User Familiarity”

5.0
Dec 3, 2025
I tried Q Developer when it first came out, and it was not as effective as some of the other code generators on the market at the time. i tried it again recently and it blew me away. I used it to help on a project that our team was blocked on with some complex technical issues related to a variety of AWS services, and it talked through every stage of debugging, and was extremely concise and hnderatandable, and knowledgeable about the inner workings of services that i hadnt previously used.

“Amazon Q Delivers Superior Latency but Falls Short in Code Completion Tasks”

3.0
Oct 16, 2025
Amazon Q lags behind Claude and OpenAI in code completion and general Q&A performance. However, it offers better latency, which enhances responsiveness. Its integration with AWS services is seamless, making it convenient for deployment across AWS and non AWS environments.

Amazon Q Developer Likes & Dislikes

Like

It is extremely knowledgeable about the inner workings of AWS services, but it tailored its responses related to each based on my knowledge level of each, able to do deeper dives into the services that i was more familiar with while starting high level in ones that i described myself as being less familiar with.

Like

Its strong focus on data security, backed by Amazon's Ring 1 certification. This provides high level of trust and assurance especially while handling sensitive and regulated (PII ) data.

Like

it helps me understand the business logic for apps i have not used before as a new employee. it can also help with error logs that contain a lot of data. it can read it fasted than i can

Dislike

nothing comes to mind from my recent experience

Dislike

The user interface is not very intuitive, which affects the overall user experience and ease of navigation.

Dislike

losing context memory due to running out of space or the workspace closing. i would also love it if context could go between two or more stations. for example if i do backend code in vs and front end in vscode for the same repo, id love for both extensions to be aware of the same discussion
