Amazon Q Developer Pro and Amazon CodeCatalyst

Using Amazon CodeCatalyst is a good option to leverage the context feature of Amazon Q Developer Pro. CodeCatalyst integrates with Amazon Q and allows you to assign issues to Q, which can then generate code changes and create pull requests for you.

While CodeCatalyst is a recommended option, it is not the only possibility. You can also use other IDEs and development environments that integrate with Amazon Q, such as Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA. These IDEs may provide similar code generation and security scanning capabilities powered by Amazon Q.

Hi @BorghettiG, CodeCatalyst is a powerful service that allows your team to collaborate on projects, setup CI/CD pipelines and have robust security mechanisms. Additionally as mentioned by iBehr CodeCatalyst integrates with Amazon Q in US-WEST-2 Region (Oregon).

Coming back to your question about context feature, you can use your local IDE like VSCode and highlight the code > Send to Q This will allow you to use the context feature without using codecatalyst.

If you still decide to use code catalyst please see the link below:
