At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) and GitLab Inc. announced an integrated offering that brings together GitLab Duo with Amazon Q. Together, GitLab Duo and Amazon Q provide a seamless AI-powered developer experience that combines DevSecOps workflows with Amazon Q autonomous agents to help organizations deliver secure software faster. Developers can use advanced Amazon Q AI agents with GitLab Quick Actions, from GitLab Issues and Merge Requests, to accelerate innovation and developer productivity.
Development teams need to work across several tools, technologies, and processes while ensuring code quality, security, and best practices-which can create a fragmented software development lifecycle as project scope and complexity grows. According to the recent GitLab Global DevSecOps Report, 54% of individual contributors report their teams use up to 14 tools for software development, while only 17% of organizations have started tool consolidation efforts.
GitLab Duo with Amazon Q addresses the churn that developers experience across a fragmented software development lifecycle by helping them complete complex multi-step tasks from the GitLab unified DevSecOps platform. The integrated offering delivers a seamless developer experience that brings Amazon Q autonomous AI agents into developers’ daily workflows to help organizations ship secure software faster.
GitLab Ultimate tier customers on Self-Managed can leverage GitLab Duo with Amazon Q through access to autonomous agents that:
- Streamline software development: Transform a new feature idea in an issue into merge-ready code in minutes. Iterate directly from GitLab using real-time feedback to accelerate development workflows from start to finish.
- Optimize code: Generate unit tests for new merge requests to save developer time and enforce consistent quality assurance practices across teams.
- Maximize quality and security: Provide AI-driven code quality and security reviews that accelerate feedback cycles.
- Modernize code: Starting with Java 8 or Java 11 codebases, upgrade to Java 17 directly from a GitLab project to improve application security and performance and remove technical debt.
“The integration of GitLab Duo with Amazon Q represents a leap forward in AI-powered DevSecOps,” said Deepak Singh, vice president, Next-Generation Developer Experience at AWS. “By combining GitLab’s comprehensive DevSecOps platform and GitLab Duo with Amazon’s advanced AI capabilities with Amazon Q, we empower developers to accelerate their workflows, enhance code quality, and strengthen security measures. This integration simplifies the development lifecycle, helps organizations maximize their cloud investments, and adapts to the future of AI-assisted software development.”
“AWS and GitLab are committed to co-developing an unparalleled developer experience leveraging the power of the GitLab platform and the breadth and depth of AWS technologies,” said Ashley Kramer, interim chief revenue officer, and chief marketing and strategy officer, GitLab. “GitLab Duo with Amazon Q offers a seamless journey from code commit to production, all within a trusted and secure environment. By leveraging Amazon Q’s advanced capabilities and integrating them into our unified data store, GitLab Duo with Amazon Q provides an enterprise-grade platform that accelerates and automates software development while ensuring security, compliance, and privacy.”
