Amazon officially launches its code writing assistant. For individual developers it is free: signing up with an email address is enough.

One feature sets it apart: if suggested code resembles open source code used in training, CodeWhisperer flags it with a link to the repository and the license, so the developer can decide whether to use it.

It also includes a security scan that looks for vulnerabilities in code, both generated and hand-written. For companies there is a Professional tier with administrative features.
