Saving Time With Amazon Q Developer
summary
Demos show the Amazon Q Developer CLI executing shell and AWS CLI commands, writing CloudFormation templates that successfully deploy, stopping an Amazon Comprehend job, generating a 100-row synthetic CSV, fixing an overly-permissive IAM policy, and creating an architecture diagram via the AWS diagram MCTP server. The talk names limits (free tier: 50 chats, 1k Java lines, 25 AWS queries, 10 agent runs), the Pro plan ($19/mo), and AWS’s claim of saved 4,500 years migrating Java—practical, hands-on coverage with warnings about hallucinations and data sharing.
