What you give up either way
- AWS's global scale, availability zones, and managed infrastructure
- Deep integration with 240+ AWS services and automatic updates
- Enterprise controls and built-in CloudWatch/IAM guardrails at AWS scale
- Managed MCP Server SLA and automatic plugin updates for third-party agents
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Amazon Q Developer, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
