Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
