Frequently Asked Questions

Is Amazon Q Developer limited to AWS code?

It can assist with general software development, but its AWS context and integrations are a central part of the product.

Can it deploy changes automatically?

Some workflows can perform broader development tasks, but permissions and deployment controls depend on the tool and account configuration. Review every change before release.

Should source code or secrets be pasted into chat?

Follow your organization's data policy and the current AWS service terms. Never include credentials in prompts or source files.
