AWS Infrastructure Code
Built by AI That Knows AWS.
CodiFly uses Amazon Q Developer to generate CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform code, run security scans, and modernise legacy AWS workloads — all from a conversational AI that lives where your developers already work.
Six Ways CodiFly Uses
Amazon Q Developer.
Amazon Q Developer is purpose-built for AWS — and so are we. Here's how it integrates into every stage of our cloud development process.
CloudFormation & CDK Generation
Describe your AWS architecture in plain English and Amazon Q generates production-ready CloudFormation YAML or CDK TypeScript. We review, refine, and deploy — cutting infrastructure scaffold time by over 60%.
Security Vulnerability Scanning
Amazon Q Developer scans your codebase for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, overly permissive IAM policies, and insecure S3 bucket configurations — with suggested fixes, not just warnings.
AWS Service Integration
Amazon Q knows every AWS service API, SDK, and configuration option. It generates Lambda handlers, Step Functions state machines, EventBridge rules, and API Gateway definitions with accurate service-specific detail.
Legacy Code Modernisation
Amazon Q's Code Transform feature upgrades Java 8/11 applications to Java 17+, migrates .NET Framework to .NET 8, and assists with moving monolith patterns to microservices — with automated PR generation.
CLI Chat Interface
The q chat CLI command brings Amazon Q directly into the terminal. Ask architecture questions, debug AWS CLI errors, or generate IaC on the fly — without leaving your command line workflow.
Code Review & Explain
Amazon Q can review pull requests for AWS best-practice violations, explain complex CloudFormation resources, and document Lambda functions automatically — keeping knowledge consistent across the whole engineering team.
How We Ship AWS Projects
Faster with Amazon Q.
Architecture to IaC in Hours
We describe the target AWS architecture to Amazon Q, generate a CloudFormation or CDK scaffold, and have a deployable stack ready for review the same day — not the same week.
Security Scan on Every PR
Amazon Q security scanning runs as a CI step on every pull request — catching credential leaks, unsafe IAM patterns, and vulnerable dependencies before code reaches production.
Q in the Terminal for Ops
Our cloud engineers use q chat during live incidents to rapidly diagnose CloudWatch errors, generate runbook steps, and formulate AWS CLI commands under pressure.
Modernisation Without Risk
For legacy Java and .NET client systems, Amazon Q's Code Transform generates the migration PR automatically — we validate, test, and merge. Months of manual porting reduced to days.
Amazon Q for
AWS-Centric Teams.
When your infrastructure lives on AWS, Amazon Q Developer outperforms general-purpose AI coding tools. Here's the honest comparison.
Questions About
Amazon Q at CodiFly.
Cloud development, security scanning, IaC generation, and more — answered.
Amazon Q Developer is trained specifically on AWS documentation, service APIs, CloudFormation schemas, and AWS SDK code — meaning its IaC output uses correct resource types, accurate property names, and real AWS service configurations. General tools like ChatGPT and Copilot produce CloudFormation that frequently contains deprecated properties or incorrect ARN formats, requiring significant manual correction. Q also integrates directly with the AWS Console and CLI, which no general tool offers.
Amazon Q Developer's security scanning analyses your code for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, exposed AWS credentials and secrets, overly permissive IAM policies, insecure S3 bucket ACLs, and common injection vectors. Crucially, it provides actionable fix suggestions alongside each finding — not just a list of issues. CodiFly runs this scan as an automated step in every client project's CI pipeline, creating a safety net before code reaches AWS.
Amazon Q supports both CloudFormation (YAML/JSON) and AWS CDK (TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go). For new projects, CodiFly typically chooses CDK TypeScript because it provides type safety, allows reusable constructs, and integrates better with existing application code. Amazon Q is equally capable in both paradigms — we choose based on client preference and project complexity. Q also supports AWS SAM for serverless projects and provides Terraform guidance for multi-cloud setups.
Amazon Q Code Transform is an AI-powered automated migration tool that upgrades Java 8 or Java 11 applications to Java 17+, and .NET Framework applications to .NET 8. It analyses your codebase, generates migration changes, and opens a pull request — a process that would take a development team weeks of manual effort. It's most valuable for organisations running legacy Java microservices on AWS Elastic Beanstalk or ECS that need to reach modern runtime support without a full rewrite.
Amazon Q Developer has a free tier for individual developers that includes inline code completions, the CLI chat interface, and a limited number of security scans per month — with no credit card required. The Pro tier (currently ~$19/user/month) unlocks unlimited security scanning, Code Transform, custom knowledge bases from your internal documentation, and administrator controls for enterprise teams. CodiFly recommends Pro for any client project where security scanning and IaC generation are part of the workflow.
