Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
