India's software development sector is undergoing significant changes, driven by AI, open protocols, and a growing developer community.
Developers are seen as essential contributors to the economy, with India having the second-largest population of developers.
AWS is simplifying development with AI coding tools like Amazon Q, significantly speeding up processes like upgrading legacy Java code.
Agentic tools by AWS not only suggest improvements but also take action, aiding developers in code and security reviews.
AWS's new AI tool, AWS Transform, accelerates enterprise workload migration and modernisation, supporting platforms like VMware and .NET applications.
Tools like Q Developer and CodeWhisperer are continuously updated based on developer feedback and have shown faster conversion speeds and cost reductions.
AWS also launched Amazon Q CLI Developer Agent for accelerated software development workflows within the terminal environment.
By leveraging Amazon Q, Amazon saved significant developer time, upgrading a large portion of production Java systems efficiently.
AWS focuses on open protocols like MCP to connect AI tools with external systems, fostering better communication and context availability.
AWS's work with the developer community in India, including local user groups and AWS Heroes, reflects a commitment to innovation and collaboration.
The future entails a rise in natural language interfaces and agentic tools, with Amazon Q Developer now supporting languages like Hindi.
