Working with Amazon CodeWhisperer by using AWS Cloud9
What is CodeWhisperer?
Amazon CodeWhisperer is a machine learning service that improves developer productivity by generating code suggestions based on their natural language comments and code in their IDE.
CodeWhisperer supports programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, and TypeScript, and also supports code generation for Ruby, Go, PHP, C++, C, Shell, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, and SQL. The service integrates with several integrated development environments (IDEs), including JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and Rider), Visual Studio Code, AWS Cloud9, and AWS Lambda Console.

Security scans
CodeWhisperer offers a valuable Security Scan feature for your project files. It enhances application resilience by identifying security concerns like cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, log injections, weak file permissions, and hardcoded credentials. This security scan seamlessly integrates with CodeGuru, which applies multiple layers of filtering to prioritize critical issues. CodeGuru filters unsupported languages and conducts preliminary code testing, even for open source code, before initiating security scans.
