GitLab announced the general availability of GitLab Duo with Amazon Q.

The integrated offering is available today as a bundle for GitLab Ultimate self-managed customers on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

GitLab Duo with Amazon Q embeds Amazon Q’s software development agents directly into the GitLab DevSecOps platform. The integration accelerates complex, multi-step tasks across the entire software development lifecycle, reduces context switching between tools, and helps accelerate development cycles.

By combining Amazon Q Developer with the existing capabilities of GitLab Duo, such as code completion and explanation, chat, vulnerability explanation and remediation, and root cause analysis, GitLab Duo with Amazon Q helps tackle critical development challenges, such as:

- Autonomous feature development: Transforms new feature ideas from issues into merge-ready code in minutes by analyzing requirements, planning the implementation, and generating a merge request while adhering to internal development standards.

- Legacy codebase modernization: Automates the code refactoring process for legacy codebases starting with Java 8 and 11. Modernize applications quickly by creating a comprehensive upgrade plan and generating fully documented merge requests with a clear audit trail.

- Security vulnerability remediation: Helps reduce vulnerability remediation time by explaining vulnerabilities, performing root cause analysis, and offering one-click remediation with recommended code changes.

- Quality assurance improvement: Contributes to consistent quality by automatically generating code reviews that interpret application logic to minimize manual review efforts.

- Code review optimization: Streamlines code review cycles and facilitates higher-quality code merges by providing inline feedback, suggesting improvements, and highlighting security and performance considerations.

"With Amazon Q Developer agents embedded directly into GitLab Duo, we are automating complex development tasks," said Deepak Singh, VP of Developer Agents and Experiences at AWS. "Developers can now focus on creative work while Amazon Q handles all the complex tasks from code modernization to security remediation, helping organizations ship better software faster while maintaining enterprise security and compliance."

"The general availability of GitLab Duo with Amazon Q marks a new era of seamless, AI-driven software development," said David DeSanto, chief product officer at GitLab. "Combining GitLab’s comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform with Amazon Q Developer agents empowers development teams to accelerate software innovation while ensuring security is deeply embedded across the entire software development lifecycle."
