On August nineteenth, 2024, Gartner revealed its first Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants, which incorporates Amazon Net Companies (AWS). Amazon Q Developer certified for inclusion, having launched in common availability on April 30, 2024. AWS was ranked as a Chief for its skill to execute and completeness of imaginative and prescient.
We consider this Chief placement displays our speedy tempo of innovation, which makes the entire software program growth lifecycle simpler and will increase developer productiveness with enterprise-grade entry controls and safety.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates 12 AI code assistants primarily based on their Capacity to Execute, which measures a vendor’s capability to ship its services or products successfully, and Completeness of Imaginative and prescient, which assesses a vendor’s understanding of the market and its technique for future development, based on Gartner’s report, How Markets and Distributors Are Evaluated in Gartner Magic Quadrants.
Right here is the graphical illustration of the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants.
Right here is the quote from Gartner’s report:
Amazon Net Companies (AWS) is a Chief on this Magic Quadrant. Its product, Amazon Q Developer (previously CodeWhisperer), is concentrated on helping and automating developer duties utilizing AI. For instance, Amazon Q Developer helps with code solutions and transformation, testing and safety, in addition to function growth. Its operations are geographically numerous, and its shoppers are of all sizes. AWS is concentrated on delivering AI-driven options that improve the software program growth life cycle (SDLC), automating advanced duties, optimizing efficiency, guaranteeing safety, and driving innovation.
My crew focuses on creating content material on Amazon Q Developer that straight helps software program builders’ jobs-to-be-done, enabled and enhanced by generative AI in Amazon Q Developer Heart and Neighborhood.aws.
I’ve had the possibility to speak with our clients to ask why they select Amazon Q Developer. They mentioned it’s accessible to speed up and full duties throughout the SDLC rather more than common AI code assistants—from coding, testing, and upgrading, to troubleshooting, performing safety scanning and fixes, optimizing AWS assets, and creating knowledge engineering pipelines.
Listed below are the highlights that clients talked about extra typically:
Obtainable in all places you want it – You should use Amazon Q Developer in any of the next built-in growth setting (IDE), together with Visible Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, AWS Toolkit with Amazon Q, JupyterLab, Amazon EMR Studio, Amazon SageMaker Studio, or AWS Glue Studio. You can even use Amazon Q Developer within the AWS Administration Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS documentation, AWS Help, AWS Console Cell Utility, Amazon CodeCatalyst, or by Slack and Microsoft Groups with AWS Chatbot. Based on Protected Software program, “Amazon Q is aware of all of the methods to utilize the numerous instruments that AWS offers. As a result of we are actually capable of accomplish extra, we can lengthen our automations into different AWS companies and make use of Amazon Q to assist us get there.” To be taught extra, go to Amazon Q Developer options and Amazon Q Developer clients.
Customizing code suggestions – You will get code suggestions primarily based in your inner code base. Amazon Q Developer accelerates onboarding to a brand new code base to generate much more related inline code suggestions and chat responses (in preview) by making it conscious of your inner libraries, APIs, greatest practices, and architectural patterns. Your group’s directors can securely join Amazon Q Developer to your inner code bases to create a number of customizations. Based on Nationwide Australia Financial institution (NAB), NAB has now added particular solutions utilizing the Amazon Q customization functionality which are tailor-made to the NAB coding requirements. They’re seeing elevated acceptance charges of 60 % with customization. To be taught extra, go to Customizing solutions within the AWS documentation.
Upgrading your Java functions – Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation automates the method of upgrading and reworking your legacy Java functions. Based on an inner Amazon examine, Amazon has migrated tens of hundreds of manufacturing functions from Java 8 or 11 to Java 17 with help from Amazon Q Developer. This represents a financial savings of over 4,500 years of growth work for over a thousand builders (when in comparison with guide upgrades) and efficiency enhancements price $260 million {dollars} in annual value financial savings. Transformations from Home windows to cross-platform .NET are additionally coming quickly! To be taught extra, go to Upgrading language variations with the Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation within the AWS documentation.
Entry the entire 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants report to be taught extra.
