Amazon Q Developer now help customers understand service prices and estimate workload costs

Today, AWS announces a new pricing and cost estimation capability in Amazon Q Developer. Amazon Q Developer is the most capable generative AI-powered assistant for software development. With this launch, customers can now use Amazon Q Developer to get information about AWS product and service pricing, availability, and attributes, helping them select the right resources and estimate workload costs using natural language.

When architecting new workloads on AWS, customers need to estimate costs so they can evaluate cost/performance tradeoffs, set budgets, and plan future spending. Customers can now use Amazon Q Developer to retrieve detailed product attribute and pricing information using natural language, making it easier to estimate the cost of new workloads without having to review multiple pricing pages or specify detailed API request parameters. Customers can now ask questions about service pricing (e.g., “How much does RDS extended support cost?”), the cost of a planned workload (e.g., “I need to send 1 million notifications per month to email, and 1 million to HTTP/S endpoints. Estimate the monthly cost using SNS.”), or the relative costs of different resources (e.g., “What is the cost difference between an Application Load Balancer and a Network Load Balancer?”). To answer these questions, Amazon Q Developer retrieves information from the AWS Price List APIs.

To learn more, see Managing your costs using generative AI with Amazon Q Developer. To get started, open the Amazon Q chat panel in the AWS Management Console and ask a question about pricing.
