An AWS coding assistant offering inline suggestions, chat, and agentic tasks across IDEs and the console. AWS closed new IDE-plugin signups and subscriptions May 15, 2026 and IDE/subscription support ends April 30, 2027, pointing migrating users to Kiro; the AWS Console and other first-party AWS Q experiences are unaffected.

Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Amazon Q Developer and Bolt.new both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding.
Choose Amazon Q Developer if…
Best for existing Q Developer subscribers on cloud-native, AWS-heavy projects who need suggestions aware of AWS APIs and services while planning a migration to Kiro, and its edge is deep awareness of S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and IAM specifics that general coding assistants don't have. Genuinely useful for AWS-heavy projects, being retired with support ending April 2027, so plan a migration to Kiro. Lean toward Bolt.new instead if a full in-browser Node.js runtime and terminal, so the AI can install packages and run the app, not just write code matters more for your use case.
Choose Bolt.new if…
Best for developers who want to describe an app and get a working full-stack build in the browser, and its edge is a full in-browser Node.js runtime and terminal, so the AI can install packages and run the app, not just write code. Excellent for prototyping fast, token limits mean complex builds need real prompt iteration to get across the finish line. Lean toward Amazon Q Developer instead if deep awareness of S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and IAM specifics that general coding assistants don't have matters more for your use case.
