Java ON 2024 Day 1
summary
Amazon Q Developer takes a Java repo, uploads it to a secure us‑east‑1 environment, iteratively builds/tests and uses a knowledge base from ~200k projects plus LLM fixes to transform Java 8/11 → 17 and return a PR; IDE plugins exist for JetBrains and VS Code and privacy uses customer‑managed keys and PrivateLink. Separately, AI agents and sequential workflows can migrate a Spring Boot app to serverless, create CI/CD and raise test coverage (often ~70% from zero), and achieved 39.6% on SWEbench with Claude 3.5 versus ~27% with prior models.
