CodeWhisperer analyzes code in real time as you write it, flagging potential security vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, insecure data handling, and other common weakness patterns cataloged by resources like the OWASP Top 10. It provides suggested remediations based on established security best practices drawn from Amazon's code knowledge base.

Is Amazon CodeWhisperer free to use?

Amazon CodeWhisperer offers both a free tier with basic features and a paid professional tier with more advanced capabilities and higher usage limits. The free tier includes code completion suggestions and reference tracking, while the paid tier adds features like broader language support and enhanced security scanning.
