    Legacy code explanations improve onboarding, but documentation lacks business context

    5.0
    Jun 5, 2026
    It saves a good amount of time when we are modernizing older Java services and the inline suggestions are mostly on point. The one area I would like them to improve is the documentation generation, sometimes it misses the business context of the code, but otherwise it has fit well into our dev workflow.

Amazon Q Developer Likes & Dislikes

Like

For the code modernization tool I have a couple of things to point out - first, it is really good at understanding legacy code and explaining what a function is doing, which helps a lot when we onboard new devs onto old codebases. Second, the inline code suggestions and the transform feature for upgrading Java versions saves us a ton of manual effort. Third, the integration with our IDE is smooth so the team did not have to change their existing workflow much to start using it.
