Code tools have broadened. Software application development code assistant s in the decade before now worked at the level of what we could call smart autocomplete tools. Developers would tap into automations and sometimes interact with chat functions inside the integrated development environment of their choice and get “code snippets” to insert into their programming activities.
This is all about the fact that now that we can build and create code assistant functions so much more accurately through technologies like retrieval augmented generation to align AI more tightly to an organization’s specific business logic and data and other fine-tuning mechanisms. This means we can remove so much more of the laborsome elements of the software application development lifecycle and leave developers to work on the creative elements of core application innovation.
“In any real world IT team, software developers spend a whole lot of time working on things that are essentially not coding… and these are key tasks that Amazon Q Developer is capable of performing with automated accuracy and efficiency,” said Deepak Singh, VP of next-generation developer experience at AWS.
“We are combining Amazon Q Developer with our nearly two decades of experience helping organizations migrate and modernize their legacy workloads on AWS to accelerate and simplify large-scale transformations,” said, vice president of technology, at AWS. “This is a game-changer for customers and partners looking to move off of Windows .NET, VMware and mainframes.
Earlier this year, Amazon integrated the Java transformation capability of Amazon Q Developer into its internal systems to migrate tens of thousands of production applications from older versions of Java to Java 17. If you haven’t been tracking Java release versions, the current Java version with long term support is Java 21, so LTS on Java 17 would be an appealing move forward for many users. The company says that this effort saved more than 4,500 years of development work.
