AWS has announced it will end support for Amazon Q Developer, its AI coding assistant, by April 30, 2027, giving users a one year transition window. New user signups will stop from May 15, 2026, and some model changes will begin soon after, signaling a phased shutdown.
The company is introducing Kiro, a new agentic development environment designed for spec driven workflows with features like structured specifications, automated hooks, and custom subagents.
AWS is encouraging developers to migrate to Kiro, reflecting a shift toward more autonomous, context aware coding systems.
