Building with AI-DLC using Amazon Q Developer

The AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) methodology marks a significant change in software development by strategically assigning routine tasks to AI while maintaining human oversight for critical decisions. Amazon Q Developer, a generative AI coding assistant, supports the entire software development lifecycle and offers the Project Rules feature, allowing users to tailor their development practices […]

Open-Sourcing Adaptive Workflows for AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC)

AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) holds the promise of unlocking the full potential of AI in software development. By emphasizing AI-led workflows and human-centric decision-making, AI-DLC can deliver velocity and quality. However, realizing these gains hinges on how organizations effectively integrate AI into their engineering workflows. Through our work with engineering teams across industries, we […]

Amazon introduces two benchmark datasets for evaluating AI agents’ ability on code migration

Introduction: Repository-Level Code Migration Code migration is a repository-level transformation process that modernizes entire software projects to run on new platforms, frameworks, or runtime environments while preserving their original functionality and structure. Rather than focusing on isolated files or APIs, it operates across the full repository, spanning source code, dependencies, build systems, and configuration files […]

Multi Agent Collaboration with Strands

Multi Agent Collaboration with Strands

In the evolving landscape of autonomous systems, multi-agent collaboration is becoming not only feasible but necessary. As agents gain more capabilities, like advanced reasoning, adaptation, and tool use, the challenge shifts from individual performance to effective coordination. The question is no longer “can an agent solve a task?” but “how do we organize execution across […]
